Freshman and Furious? Not Exactly. More Like Freshman and Free to Park (with a Permit)
That's right, freshmen are welcome to bring their cars to FAU. Just like your social life, though, there are a few ground rules to keep things running smoothly. First things first, you'll need to snag an ePermit. Think of it as your car's VIP pass to campus. The good news? The cost of the ePermit is already included in your tuition fees, so consider it a bonus.
Here's the not-so-secret secret: parking on campus can get a little crowded, especially during peak hours (think right before your morning coffee fix). So, be prepared to channel your inner zen driver and embrace the art of the patient parking lot prowl.
Freshman Parking 101: A Crash Course (Don't worry, it's not literally a crash course)
Now, let's decipher the cryptic world of FAU parking lingo. Here's a breakdown of the essentials:
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
- The ePermit: Your golden ticket to parking glory. Get it online and register your car.
- The Color Coded Chaos: FAU has a color-coded parking system. Resident students get to park in green lots, while commuters have access to blue lots. Don't be a rebel and park in the wrong spot – trust us, the parking gods will not be pleased.
- The Night Owl Exemption: Feeling peckish for a late-night pizza run? No problem! Between 6 p.m. and 7 a.m., any student with a valid ePermit can park in any colored lot.
Remember: Always be on the lookout for posted signs and restrictions. FAU doesn't want to tow your car any more than you want it towed (we all have places to be, people!).
