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 will be available to register for 2020/21 Parking Permits and Waivers beginning 7/13/20.
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 fee can be waived provided a Permit Fee 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.
After you have submitted a Waiver Form online (Waiver must be received by the waiver deadline) please print the confirmation page for your records. Student accounts will not be credited the parking fee unless the waiver reason is approved by the Parking Services Office.
- Fall waiver deadline for the Main Campus and the Rinker Campus is September 16, 2019.
I waived my parking fee and now I need a permit to drive to campus, what do I do?
- Students should contact the Business Office at ocbusn@chapman.edu to charge your account for the permit.
- Once the account is charged, you can proceed to the registration site to register for a parking permit.
- Faculty and Staff can log into the registration site to purchase a parking permit.
