Chapman University has a mandatory parking permit policy implemented by the City of Orange. This policy is designed to promote on-campus parking so as to lessen the impact of street parking on the residents of Orange living in close proximity to the university. All university constituents – students, administrators, faculty and staff are required to have a parking permit and park in university owned or operated parking areas. The Permit and Waiver Registration Systems is available to register for 2020/21 Parking Permits. If you are opting for remote classes for the fall semester, you do not need to complete a waiver. Just register for a parking permit prior to returning to campus.
Parking Permit Registration
Parking Permit Registration System
Once you register for a parking permit, your license plate will be used to validate parking privileges. Every administrator, faculty, staff and student vehicle parked on campus must be registered by license plate number to a valid parking permit. Please review the Parking Policy to be aware of all the parking regulations and permit options. Please e-mail Parking and Transportation Services at parking@chapman.edu with any questions you may have.
Parking Permit Waiver Registration
Under certain conditions, the parking permit can be waived provided a Permit Waiver is submitted online by the deadline and approved by Parking Services. Filing a false waiver and driving a vehicle to campus (including using a city issued Area-A permit to park closer to campus) may result in disciplinary action and/or a parking citation for violating the Parking Policy. If you are only taking remote classes for the fall semester, you do not need to complete a parking waiver. Permits are complimentary for 20/21 so there is no fall parking charge on your account.
After you have submitted a Waiver Form online (Waiver must be received by the waiver deadline) please print the confirmation page for your records.
- Fall waiver deadline for the Main Campus and the Rinker Campus is September 21, 2020.
