Frequently Asked Questions

General FAQ

Students won’t be able to obtain a parking permit until you are enrolled in classes. For short-term parking needs, pay the meter in the Maverick Parking garage near the Library or at a street meter located throughout campus.
If you are bringing a car with temporary plates to campus, enter the temporary plate number just as you normally would by logging into your MavPark account on our parking website. You should then update your MavPark account with the permanent plates once they arrive.
Each permit holder can have 3 vehicles attached to their permit. However, only one of these vehicles can be present on campus each day.  If multiple vehicles attached to the same permit are seen by the enforcement trucks on the same day, a citation will be issued to the permit holder.  Additionally, if a customer's permit is shared between multiple customers or students, a citation will be issued.

Citations

Take a look at your citation, look for “Violation”. The official definitions for violations can be found in the Parking Rules and Regulations.

If you still have questions about your citation, call or email the PATS Office:

817-272-3907 or [email protected]
You have 14 calendar days (this includes weekends) to appeal a citation after the “Issue Date” of the citation. The “Issue date” is defined as the date the responsible party was first notified of the citation.
The next step if you are unhappy with the decision of your appeal is to go before the appeals committee.  To enter into this process you need to request a committee hearing within 10 days of the first appeal notice of decision. Requests can be made to [email protected].

Permit

No. Sharing a permit with another customer is not permitted. Each person will need a separate permit to park their respected vehicle on campus. Sometimes, multiple family members need to park on campus at the same time regularly (i.e employee-student, employee-employee, student-student relationship). In this scenario, family members should add only their one vehicle to their permit. You should not add the second vehicle driven by the other family member to your permit. 

If you have multiple vehicles on your permit and a family member is bringing the second vehicle to campus on the same day you have already parked your first vehicle on campus, the second vehicle must have a daily or hourly permit attached to it (i.e. spouse bringing lunch to an employee).

If you have questions about how best to set up permits to avoid a sharing-permit violation, please email [email protected].
All cars on campus are required to have a parking permit or need to park at a parking meter. If you do not have a parking permit of some kind, you are at risk of a parking citation. (A valid HonkMobile, ParkMobile or paid meter is considered a parking permit)

Parking

Contrary to popular belief, parking is not free after any time. All cars on campus need to have a valid parking permit to park on campus at all times.
