2011/2012 Parking Hangtag Information
All University faculty, staff, contract employees and students who wish to park their
vehicles in a University-owned parking lot (other than the Olmsted pay lot) for the
2011-12 school year will need to register their vehicles and purchase a parking hang
tag. Parking permits and parking lots are designated as either daily commuter or
overnight parking. Parking hang tags will be available for sale beginning July 18, 2011. Hang tags can be purchased in the Cashier’s Office or for your convenience, they may be purchased online. Prices and details are detailed below. Be sure to purchase the appropriately designated permit and read the signage designation posted on the entrance to each parking lot. The type of permit will determine where you are allowed to park on campus.
Overnight Parking Permits:
Only students living in Drake residence halls and the Drake West Village will be
allowed to purchase overnight permits. Overnight parking permits will be sold on a
“first-come-first-served” basis and will only be issued for the actual number of
overnight-designated parking spots (approximately 1,100 spots for 2011-12).
Daily Commuter Parking Permits:
All non-residence hall students and employees should purchase the daily commuter
permit. Given the number of students, employees and visitors on the campus each
day, there are simply not enough parking spaces on campus to ensure a convenient
parking spot for every daily commuter permit sold.
Where to Buy Permits:
Effective July 18, 2011, students, faculty and staff are encouraged to register their vehicles and
purchase hang tags online via blueView. You may also purchase hangtags in the Cashier’s Office, 115 Old Main, during regular business hours beginning July 18, 2011.
Commuter students purchasing online will be mailed their hangs tags to the address on the vehicle registration up to 2 weeks prior to the start of the term. After that date, the hang tags will be available for pick up in the Cashiers Office.
Students living in the residence halls have the option of purchasing their hang tags online as well and are encouraged to do so, but their hang tags will not be mailed and must be picked up in the Cashier’s Office, 115 Old Main on or after August 18th, 2011.
Hangtags purchased online by faculty and staff can be picked up in the Cashier’s
Office, 115 Old Main, during regular business hours beginning August 8, 2011.
The link to purchase your parking hang tag can be found on any of the following tabs
within blueView: Campus Life, Student Services, Employee and the Parent Tab.
Students who wish a parent or guardian to register the student’s vehicle and
purchase the hang tag online will need to grant the parent or guardian access in
blueView to their student information. Students, faculty, and staff may also purchase hang tags at the Cashier’s Office, Room 115 Old Main, during normal business hours.
Owners of vehicles parked in Drake-owned lots without the hang tag will be subject
to a $25 fine and possible towing at owner's expense.
If you have questions regarding this process, contact the Cashier’s Office at 515-
271-3805. A copy of updated parking regulations can be found online at the Parking
Tool Channel in blueView or by clicking Parking.
