General Parking Information

  • All vehicles on campus must be registered with the University Police and must display a valid permit.
  • Permits are issued as hang tags.
  • Handicap spaces are designated in each parking lot and are specifically reserved for vehicles with permanent or temporary handicap license plates or special permits from a motor vehicle administration agency.
  • If you receive a parking ticket and wish to appeal it, go to forms, print the parking appeal form, complete it, and return the form and ticket to the University Police Department.
  • For special parking arrangements for large groups, contact police@frostburg.edu.
  • Lost or stolen parking permits should be reported to the University Police immediately. A replacement parking permit will be issued free of charge.
  • Persons whose vehicles become disabled should call University Police immediately. If the vehicle cannot be moved, a disabled vehicle notice will be placed on the dashboard to prevent a parking ticket from being issued.

Visitor Parking Information

  • Visitors may obtain visitor passes, free of charge, at University Police Headquarters or through their department admin/program coordinator.
  • Visitors may park in any unreserved, legal parking space except in the Annapolis Lot. Specially designated visitor spaces are found only in the Hitchins Lot. Admissions guests can find visitor spaces in the Lower Pullen Lot.
  • Visitors ticketed for failing to register a vehicle, or display a valid permit, must send the violation notice to the University Police Headquarters within 15 days of receipt. Otherwise, they are liable for the ticket.
  • Visitors are responsible for any other parking citations they may receive.

Student Parking Information

  • All students may park a motor vehicle in designated lots on campus, upon proper registration.
  • All vehicles on campus must be registered with the University Police and must display a valid permit.
  • There is a $50.00 registration fee for students who reside on campus. Students who do not live on campus must pay a fee when they register their cars in the University and Student Billing Office. Permits are issued as hang tags.

What to do if you receive a parking ticket on the Frostburg State University campus:

  • Administrative Appeal Form for Motor Vehicle Regulation Violation: Submit the appeal form & ticket to the University Police within 5 business days from the issue date. Appeal decisions are based solely on written information provided (no personal appearance). Appeal Board meetings occur monthly during the semester; decisions are final and sent via mail.
  • Pay the ticket: Tickets may be paid by scanning the QR code located at the bottom of the ticket or by making an in-person payment at the University and Student Billing Office.

Parking Regulations

The University has instituted regulations to govern the parking, operation, and use of vehicles on campus to ensure orderly and safe traffic flow. All persons operating vehicles on campus must comply with these provisions.

Never Get Another Parking Ticket!

No one likes to get a parking ticket, and University Police would prefer not to give them. Here are tips to avoid receiving a parking citation on campus:

  • Register to park: Parking without an acceptable permit results in a $50.00 citation.
  • Pay to Park spaces: Scan the QR code to purchase parking time. Extend your session or move your vehicle before time expires.
  • Disabled vehicles: Notify University Police immediately if your car breaks down to receive a disabled vehicle certificate.
  • Marked spaces only: You must park in a designated, marked parking space.
  • Visitor rules: Employees and registered students cannot park in visitor spaces or display visitor permits.
  • Handicapped spaces: Requires official authorization from the Motor Vehicle Administration.
  • Chesapeake Lot: Enforced at all times due to ongoing food service operations.
  • Permit Lot Colors: Students may only park in black permit lots; Faculty and Staff may only park in red permit lots.
  • Annapolis Lot: Ticketing begins promptly at 7:00 a.m., Monday through Friday.
  • State Vehicle Spaces: Private cars cannot park in state vehicle spaces, even on University business.
  • Loading Zones: Reserved for commercial or state vehicles unless issued a special police permit.
  • Stadium Lot: Rarely full—park here to save time and fuel instead of searching for closer spaces.

Billing Office Procedures:

  • The parking ticket itself acts as your bill (Maryland registrants will not receive an additional bill).
  • Tickets unpaid after 30 days are assessed a $30.00 late payment fee.
