III. Policy
A. Policy Statement
Parking may be validated only for eligible individuals. There are two approved methods for parking validation:
- Parking tickets
- Use of license plate number to document and validate via the electronic portal
Note: Pre-paid coupons/pre-printed slips are no longer issued to departments for their use.
B. Eligibility
1. Personnel
Non-compensated adjunct faculty are eligible for parking validation when performing their job duties at the School. For further information on this process, see Section IV.
Compensated employees (including adjunct faculty) are not eligible for parking validation. These individuals should apply to the School's Parking Coordinator to purchase an employee parking permit.
2. Affiliates
Affiliates are not eligible for parking validation. Departments may use their discretion about whether to validate an Affiliate's parking ticket.
3. Visitors
Visitors may be eligible for parking validation. Specific patient care clinic validate a Visitor's parking ticket.
IV. Procedure for Validation Using Stamped Tickets
- The Parking Coordinator will maintain a list of approved personnel on the shared drive, Microsoft Office 365 cloud, or other appropriate means.
- This list will be accessible (read-only) by Departments and Clinical Affairs staff.
- Departments are responsible for checking this list periodically to verify that it is up-to-date. At minimum, the list will contain the eligible personnel's name, PID, and department.
- The eligible individual must present to the front desk area of the treating clinic to receive parking validation.
- Each clinic area has a parking validator who uses an electronic portal to validate parking.
- The validator will validate the parking ticket.
- If the personnel or visitor does not have their parking ticket, the validator can verify validation using the individual's license plate number.
