Parking on campus

Parking is open to everyone, and your spot type depends on whether you're a student, faculty, or staff. Register your vehicle before you arrive and attach your decal.

Where To Park

Any Unmarked Spot
Avoid Faculty, Reserved, Service & Delivery, and ED-designated spots.

Early Decision

ED1, ED2, or ED3 only
Park only in the specific lot assigned to your ED designation.

Faculty

Spaces marked “Faculty”
Faculty spots are labeled and reserved throughout campus.

Staff

Spaces marked “Reserved”
Staff use Reserved-labeled spots only.

Getting a decal

To park on campus, you’ll need a set of parking decals properly attached to your car using the adhesive provided. Your decal stays with your vehicle for your entire time at HPU. You don’t need a new one each year.

Register online
Add your vehicle through the My Parking Portal before bringing it to campus.
Visit the R.G. Wanek Center Service Desk
Bring your state vehicle registration card. The desk is open daily 8 AM to 9 PM.
Attach the decal
Use the adhesive provided. No exceptions per the Parking Terms and Conditions.

Replacing a decal? If you sell your car or get a new windshield, remove the existing decal and bring it to the Wanek Security Desk to swap it out.

Got a citation?

HPU uses a paperless system. Citations go to your HPU email. You have two options.

Pay it
Log into MyParking, go to Tickets, check the box next to your citation, and click Pay. Accepts credit card or payroll deduction (HPU employees).
Appeal it
Use the link in your citation email. You have 10 days. Only you can submit the appeal, not a parent or proxy. Appeals are reviewed by the Parking Office and decided by email.

Appeal denied? You can escalate to the Board of Appeals within 10 days of the decision. The Board includes a student, a security officer, and a faculty member. Their decision is final.

Leaving your car on campus over summer?

If you’re planning to leave your car on campus, fill out the Long-Term Parking Request Form before you leave. Once approved, you’ll be sent an email with instructions and your assigned parking spot. Don’t park in a random space since locations can shift due to construction and events.

You’ll need your student ID, name, license plate number, a phone number you’ll answer, and your decal number.

Vehicles left without approval may be treated as abandoned and towed at your expense. Trailers require written permission from the Parking Office or Watch Commander.

Long-Term Parking Request Form

Submit your appeal through the link in your citation email within 10 days. Include a clear explanation of why you think the citation was wrong. Only the person who received the citation can submit it.

The Parking Office can approve, reduce, deny, or convert the citation to a warning. If denied and you still disagree, you have 10 more days to escalate to the Board of Appeals. Everything is handled in writing. No in-person hearings.

No. Your decal stays with your vehicle for as long as you’re at HPU. You only need a replacement if you get a new windshield or switch vehicles.

Return your decal to the R.G. Wanek Center Service Desk when you leave HPU.

The full Parking Terms and Conditions are available as a PDF. By registering a vehicle on campus you agree to them.
