Paragraph 3 –

Repositionable window cling parking permits on vehicles shall be affixed by their own adhesive to the inside of the windshield, lower left corner, driver side, unless otherwise authorized by Parking Services.

See Colorado Model Traffic Code 42-4-227. Additionally, a vehicle with a window sticker permit that is not displayed according to these instructions is citable for improper display of permit. Should the permit owner need to drive a vehicle other than the one registered, the owner has the ability to remove the annual permit from the original vehicle and switch it to the current vehicle being driven. If the permit owner finds their repositionable permit to be defective, the permit holder may be eligible for a free replacement upon proof of the defective permit.

Paragraph 8 –

University funds are not to be used to purchase employee or student parking permits. This prohibition includes the use of agency accounts affiliated with a University department (e.g., athletics enhancement accounts). In some cases, it may be appropriate for an organization separate from the University to use its agency account to purchase parking permits for individuals who may be UNC employees or students. Examples include the Student Media Corporation, the Foundation, CSC/PASC, etc.

ARTICLE 2 – OBLIGATIONS, OWNERSHIP, REFUNDS AND GUARANTEES

Paragraph 1 –

All permits remain the property of the University of Northern Colorado at all times.

For purposes of this paragraph, user notification may be through electronic systems, letter, or through phone or personal contact by a member of the Parking Services staff.

Once the permit has been cancelled, a partial refund check will be sent to the mailing address we have on file based on date of return. To cancel a monthly permit, the permit will need to be returned to Parking Services by the 14th of the month. Permits can be returned by mail or in person. Any permits not returned will be billed to the permit holder. An administrative processing fee may be deducted from the amount to be credited.
