In order to be eligible for a commuter permit your local commuting address must be >1 mile from campus and >.25 miles from the nearest campus/downtown bus stop.
Ineligible addresses
You are NOT eligible if you have residency at: Madbury Commons, The Cottages, The Lodges, River's Edge, Bryant Park West, Campus Flats, Davis Court, Rosemary Lane, Dennison Road, Coe Drive, any Ò×ʤ²©¹ÙÍø fraternity or sorority houses, or other addresses in downtown Durham and along the Main Street/Madbury Road/Mill Road/Dover Road corridors. Residents at these ineligible addresses may apply for a non-resident permit instead.
Limited summer/J-Term exemption: Students living at any off campus may apply for a "Student Summer" or "J-Term" permit as a commuter or off-campus resident. This exception applies for Summer and J-Term semesters only, and no inference should be made about eligibility for fall/spring permits.
Eligibility Perimeter
If your local/commuting address lies anywhere within the eligibility perimeter on this map, you are not eligible for a commuter parking permit. (Zoom in for a closer look.)
Even if the permit selection shows up as a "pre-approved" permit category (which is based only upon your not having an on-campus housing assignment), you may not purchase one due to this eligibility restriction! Ineligible applicants risk standard enforcement.
Ineligible commuters are expected to walk or take the bus to campus. Ò×ʤ²©¹ÙÍø has limited storage parking for ineligible commuters, and private storage options exist nearby.
IF YOU RESIDE AT AN INELIGIBLE ADDRESS AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, BUT PURCHASE A PERMIT ANYWAY, YOU RUN THE RISK OF AN "ILLEGAL OBTAINING" VIOLATION AND CANCELLATION OF YOUR PERMIT WITH NO REFUND.
I understand and affirm that my local/commuting address lies outside the eligibility perimeter.
