   Report your lost id card to Campus Security Office in the Student Union. A charge of $5.00 will be placed on your account with the Business Office and a replacement card will be made on the spot.
   
   
5. What are the costs for parking permits?
   Students will be charged a $50 parking fee per semester. This fee is charged to your student account soon after you register your vehicle with Campus Security. You only need to register your vehicle one time. Unless you cancel or deactivate your permit, it will remain active and the parking fee will be automatically charged each semester. At this time the University has determined that the parking fee will be waived for graduate students, accelerated students and individuals who are willing to park only in the remote parking lot (NN) on the SW side of campus.

   The Office of Campus Security provides walking escorts to any location on campus 24 hours a day. If you call 5222 from a campus phone or 836-5222 from your cell phone an officer will be dispatched to your location.
   
   
7. My car did not start this morning and I will be bringing a car that is not registered. What should I do so that I do not get a ticket?
   You have to come to the Campus Security main office and register for a temporary permit. These permits are valid for up to 72 hours. Temporary permits may be issued up to 3 times each semester.
   
   
8. How often does Campus Security patrol the campus, including the parking lots?
   Security conducts patrols of campus continually. Every effort is made to patrol each area of the campus at least once every hour. We patrol all buildings, campus greens, parking lots and residence halls.
   
   
9. I have a free permit for campus, can I park in the loading zone near the bookstore?
   Because you choose to register for the free permit you are restricted from parking in any other lots on campus, except lot NN, this includes any loading zone or temporary areas.
   
   
10. I am a graduate student, do I need to register my vehicle and get a parking permit?
