First Year Students
Due to limited space and the high demand for parking on campus, first year students to CSU Maritime Academy are not automatically eligible to park on campus. The following is required to purchase a student semester parking permit:
- First year students that are approved for off-campus living by Housing and Residence Life are eligible to purchase a student semester parking permit. Housing and Residential Life sends the approval lists to the Cashier’s Office, allowing these students to purchase the parking permit online through their student account.
- There is a designated parking lot on campus, with a limited number of spaces, first come first served, that first year students can apply for a semester parking permit. The permit is only authorized for parking in Lot-O. Please send your request to parking@csum.edu for review.
- The restrictions for a first year student may be waived through the Parking Waiver Program where sufficient needs exist (medical, veteran, off campus employment). Complete the Petition located under First-Year Students on this web page: https://www.csum.edu/admissions/admitted-students/new-student-guide/petition-for-new-student-parking.html . Petition forms are reviewed by a committee and approved by the Chief of Police.
