The purpose of this memo is to outline some of the rules and regulations set forth in the campus
safety and traffic handbook for the use of motor vehicles on Nova Southeastern University
campuses. Cooperation and compliance with these rules are required. Failure to comply will result in
a citation or possible tow of your vehicle.
Permits
NSU students must have a current parking permit displayed on their vehicle. Failure to do so will result
in a ticket or tow of the vehicle. NSU requires the parking permit to be affixed to the exterior of the
lower left-hand corner of the rear window or the left side of the rear bumper, not inside the vehicle. On
motorcycles, motor scooters, and mopeds, the parking permit shall be displayed in plain view and
readable. Students must obtain a new permit if they have a new license plate or new vehicle.
Temporary Parking Pass
Students must obtain a temporary parking pass if they are driving a rental car or borrowed vehicle.
You can obtain a temporary parking pass from the Public Safety Officer at the Horvitz Administration
Building, the One-Stop Shop in the Health Professions Division (HPD) Terry Building, the Service
Aid at the Campus Support Building and at the Tampa Bay Regional Campus. Vehicles with a
temporary parking pass may not park in visitor parking spaces or on the first floor of the ASLRITC
(Alvin Sherman Library) public garage without paying the parking meters. Please note that once
the university has transitioned to the new PayByPhone system, new rules will apply.
Restricted Areas
• Visitor spaces – Students, faculty, and staff are never allowed to park in visitors’ spaces.
• First floor ASLRITC Public Garage - Students, faculty, and staff must pay if they park on the first
floor even if they have a permit. Students, faculty, and staff may park on the second and above
levels at no cost.

• Fire lanes / safety zones
• Adjacent to curbs or in roadways/grass area
