SIUE parking is based on color-coded lots with corresponding permits. All students, faculty and staff who park a vehicle on University property must purchase and display a current, valid SIUE permit. You may not purchase a permit if you have outstanding parking fines. Permits may be purchased online at http://www.siue.edu/parking or by mail to the Parking Services office, Box 1044, Edwardsville, IL 62026. Permits may also be purchased in person at Parking Services, Rendleman Hall, Room 1113.
All violations assigned to a registered vehicle are the responsibility of the person in whose name the permit is issued. Citations issued on a non-registered vehicle belonging to members of a student’s or employee’s immediate family will be the responsibility of the student or employee. Citations may be paid online at http://www.siue.edu/parking or by mail to the Parking Services office. Include the citation with the appropriate payment and be sure that they are received in Parking Services within ten (10) working days of the citation issue date. An appeal may not be filed until a $5 partial payment has been made. Appeals must be written and filed within ten (10) working days immediately following the citation issue date.
Evening students have the option of purchasing one of a limited number of evening permits. These permits are sold on a first come, first served basis and allow parking after 3 p.m. in specific lots that are closer to the classroom buildings.
Members of the University community who have state-issued disability hang tags, parking cards or plates are also required to purchase and display current SIUE permits in order to use parking spaces for persons with disabilities on University property. For short-term problems, one 30 day temporary disability parking permit may be authorized by the University’s Health Service. If an individual already has a note from his or her doctor, it may be taken directly to Parking Services for the 30 day permit. The purchase of a current SIUE parking permit is also required. A SIUE temporary disability permit does not authorize an individual to park in a space for individuals with a disability. Rather, Health Service and Parking Services work together to provide parking that is closer and more convenient. A state-issued permit is required if the need persists for more than 30 days.
For more information, please call (618) 650-3680 or visit the parking website at http://www.siue.edu/parking.
