Stark Campus Parking Services

PARKING HANG TAGS FOR FALL & SPRING

While parking is FREE at the Stark Campus, all Stark students are required to register their vehicle(s) before a parking hang tag can be issued. 

Vehicle registration ensures that Campus Security can better regulate student and faculty/staff parking, can contact students in case of a problem with their vehicle (lights left on, damage to vehicle, etc.) or offer vehicle lockout assistance.

• You must be registered for classes before a parking hang tag can be issued.
• Parking hang tags are required in all designated student lots.

Parking hang tags issued during fall semester are also good for spring semester.
