Faculty/Staff Parking Fees for Davie/Fort Lauderdale and Tampa Bay Campuses; Effective July 1, 2019

Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your perspective, because of the need to build parking garages and expanded parking spaces at several of our campuses, it has become necessary to initiate a parking fee. After careful consideration and a comparison with all other colleges and universities within the state our size or some even smaller, it was discovered that we are the only university that does not charge for faculty or staff parking. As such, a modest parking fee has been approved in the FY 2019-20 Fiscal Year Budget by the Board of Trustees and its initiation will help to offset some of the costs for debt service of new and existing parking spaces, associated safety precautions, and much-needed parking technological improvements.

As further described below, effective July 1, 2019, the annual parking fee for NSU faculty and staff will be $7.70 per pay period through automatic payroll deduction or $200 per year. Vendors and contractors will also be charged $200 per year. If you wish to have a specific spot reserved just for you, the fee will be $28.85 per pay period through payroll deduction or $750 annually. Adjunct faculty, Advisory Board members and volunteers are exempt from this parking fee with appropriate approvals and arrangements made through their respective dean or vice president.

In general, parking will continue to operate much the same as it does today with the same designated employee and student lots. Parking permits will continue to be issued annually by the One-Stop Shops (Terry and Horvitz Administration Buildings, plus an office at the new Tampa Bay Regional Campus). As usual, we all must complete the annual parking permit application and submit a copy of a valid vehicle registration with appropriate license number.

Summary Parking Permit Information:

  • NSU faculty and staff who regularly use parking at our Broward County locations (Fort Lauderdale/Davie, East Campus, Guy Harvey Oceanographic Campus, and downtown Fort Lauderdale offices), as well as employees at the Tampa Bay Regional Campus, must complete a parking permit application and submit a non-refundable $200 annual fee or authorize an automatic payroll deduction of $7.70 per two-week pay period. If requested, a specific reserved spot will be awarded with a payroll deduction of $28.85 per two-week pay period or a $750 annual fee.
  • The 2020 Parking Permit Application form will be available on the parking website as of Monday, May 20, 2019.
  • Once an employee has purchased a paid parking permit, he/she will have access to any/all of NSU’s paid parking lots at any campus location. Any questions can be referred to the Parking Services web page at www.nova.edu/parking.
  • Non-permitted vehicles will have the option to park at a rate of $1/hour at selected NSU Broward County campus locations and Tampa Bay Regional campus lots. PayByPhone Mobile Application may be used for payment as well as onsite pay booths. PayByPhone can be downloaded from your App Store.
