2009 – 2010 Residential Parking Permit Lottery

The parking permit lottery for the 2009 – 2010 academic year will begin on Wednesday April 1, 2009. The lottery provides current residential students the ability to select a parking permit in the residential lot of their choice. Residential student lots for next year are: Lot J (the Johnson Hall lot), Lot A (the lot west of the existing Physical Education Building), Lot V (the Tennis Center lot), and Lot P (remote lot on 35^th Street). Special permits for the residents of Swenson Hall and the 1625 Sheridan Road Apartment dwellers are also offered.

                The lottery will be conducted as follows.

1. Only current residential students are allowed to enter the parking permit lottery. A current residential student is defined as, living in a college residence for the spring 2009 term, registered for the fall 2009 term and has completed the residency sign up procedure for the fall 2009 term.

2. Current residential students may sign up for the lottery in the Carthage Business Office during normal business hours. A registration form indicating your parking lot preference must be completed at that time. A $50.00 deposit is required. This $50.00 will be credited towards the cost of the permit. It is also refundable for a change in residency status.

3. Lottery registration ends at 4:00 PM Friday May 8. The lottery will be conducted on Monday May 11. The results will be posted in the Todd Wehr Center and Lentz Hall.

4. Remaining permits will go on sale on a first come, first served basis starting on Tuesday May 12. The full purchase price of the permit will be required at the time of sale.

5. Students who are unsuccessful in obtaining spaces in Lots J and P via the lottery will be awarded a Lot A permit.

6. Permits will be available at the time of check-in for the fall term. Students must pick up their permits by 4:00 PM Wednesday September 9, 2009. Unclaimed permits will be resold after that date.

 If you plan to participate in an internship, observation hours, or enroll in any program that will require you to maintain a vehicle on campus at anytime during the next academic year, we strongly encourage you to enter the lottery to obtain a permit.

Our prior experience predicts that all permits will be sold before the opening of the fall term and that no permits will be available for sale at the time of the September check-in. Please plan for your early purchase of a permit to avoid being disappointed
