The deadline to register or renew a USC Columbia campus parking permit for the 2006-07 school year is June 30.

Employees can apply for a permit on-line using the VIP Web site link at www.sc.edu/vmps/to_vip.html. The VIP site does require a PIN number to access the application. All fields of the application must be filled in. Employees who do not have access to the Internet or a personal computer can go to the Parking Services office and use the PCs in the lobby. Parking Services is located on the ground floor of the Pendleton Street Garage. Office hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

Using the VIP registration process allows employees to learn about temporary lot closings and other traffic information that affects parking areas on campus.

Employees wishing to retain their reserved or garage parking space should not apply for a faculty/staff permit on the VIP site. Employees with 25 or more years of service with USC will automatically be assigned an H permit regardless of the choices made on the application. Individuals needing a handicap permit should e-mail the Parking Services office at parking@gwm.sc.edu.

Parking permits give holders (officially registered permit owners) the privilege of parking on campus but do not guarantee a parking space unless so specified. Sharing or lending of permits is strictly prohibited.

For questions or more information, contact Parking Services at parking@gwm.sc.edu or 7-5160 or go to www.sc.edu/vmps.
