Welcome to North Carolina Central University. Parking on campus is by permit only. All faculty, staff and students who park on campus are required to register their vehicles with the University Police Department, pay a registration fee and display a valid permit on their vehicle. Faculty, staff, student, and visitor hangtags must be placed on the rearview mirror facing outward at all times the vehicle is parked on university property. All questions should be directed to NCCU Police Department Traffic Office, 2010 Fayetteville St., Durham, NC 27707, 919-530-5023.
Visitors are individuals not enrolled or employed by the university. They must display a parking
permit while using campus parking spaces. The permit is based on the visitor’s length of stay on campus. The permit temporarily registers the vehicle and allows parking in various areas of the campus. Visitors are expected to comply with university parking and traffic rules and are held responsible for citations issued for incorrect or improper parking.
NCCU faculty, staff, students and visitors are encouraged to take advantage of the free Maroon and Gray shuttle service offered through NCCU Student Services. The campus shuttle buses (Maroon or Gray line) will depart every 15 minutes from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, from the Latham Parking Deck, to transport passengers to major points on campus. Schedules are available in the NCCU Police Department.
The NCCU Parking Office uses the T2 eBusiness automated system to manage parking accounts. The T2 automated system enables faculty, staff and students to view their citations on our website. This website permits online access and payment of citations, purchase of permits (which will be mailed to your residence) and the ability to monitor appeals.
Student parking spaces are limited and are assigned on a first-come first-served basis. All students who wish to park on campus must register their vehicles with University Police and purchase a parking permit. Students that have financial aid available will be able to use this method of payment to purchase a permit.
Students may park in the assigned designated lots only with the proper decal. Without a decal students are strongly encouraged to park in the Latham Parking Deck short term parking.
All freshmen who purchase a parking permit must park in the Latham Parking Deck. This policy is being instituted to address NCCU student growth, create easier access to campus and address concerns from neighborhood residents contiguous to campus about overflow parking near their homes.
Reserved-space parking is enforced at all times, including university holidays. A reserved-space permit holder is entitled to exclusive use of a designated space. Reserved permit patrons can share their parking space with the exception of zoned parking lots. The primary permit holder must pay the $575 fee and the secondary user must pay a $288 permit fee. Both parties must submit their paperwork together and the primary permit holder must make the request. Reserved permit holders may not allow others to park in their space or a space not registered to the individual except under the shared space program. Reserve spaces are restricted between the hours of 6 a.m. – 6 p.m.
The Latham Parking Deck automatic gate arms operate on a swipe-card system. To enter the deck, pull up to the gate and swipe your University ID card. Along with the ID card you must have a valid parking deck permit. The parking deck provides separate public and cardholder access, 24-hour security surveillance, extra lighting, guaranteed parking, no waiting and an attendant during business hours.
When a replacement permit is needed, you must contact the University Police Department Traffic Manager and complete an official report indicating the status of your permit. There is a replacement fee of $20 for all lost, stolen or damaged permits. The current permit will then be canceled.
Possession of a lost, stolen, altered or illegally purchased permit will result in the loss of parking privileges. This violation will also result in a fine and the violation will be referred to the Dean of Students Office for disciplinary attention. Criminal charges may also be brought against the violator if warranted. Any person found filing a false police report will be fined and may be subject to criminal prosecution.
It is unlawful for any person to produce any facsimile or reproduction of a permit, sticker, decal or other device indicating eligibility to park on campus. It is unlawful to steal or obtain a permit by fraud, deceit or trickery, willful misrepresentation of facts, purchase or gift from another. It is unlawful for any person in lawful possession of a parking permit to alter, give, sell, transfer or attempt to transfer a permit to another person or to place on a vehicle other than that for which it is registered. Violation of the provision is a misdemeanor.
The parking permit for vehicles will be paid at the beginning of the period for which the permit is issued or when any person first becomes associated with the university and wishes a permit. The fees are annual costs unless otherwise indicated:

For any vehicle that is parked in a handicap space on NCCU campus, the handicap placard must be issued to the driver of the vehicle — with exception for instances in which the driver is providing an escort for the placard holder. If a driver is found in violation of G.S. (20-37.6(e) (2)) he/she will be issued a state citation. Two separate permits are needed by faculty, staff or students using a handicap parking space: a license plate or hangtag issued by a state Division of Motor Vehicles that displays the International Symbol of Access, and a parking permit issued by the NCCU Police Department.
A vehicle will be towed at owner’s expense:
Vehicles may be immobilized for any of the following reasons:
Wheel boots may be removed only by a member of the NCCU Police Department, upon payment of the boot removal fee and all outstanding fines. The owner or custodian of a vehicle impounded under any regulation of this ordinance may petition the immobilization. Submitting a petition is not a substitute for payment of the boot removal fee. Vehicles immobilized for longer than 48 hours will be towed or relocated to a designated storage facility. All payments must be made at the Bursar’s Office in Room 12, Hoey Administration Building, during business hours Monday through Friday.
Parking for guests attending a program, conference or special event is available in the Latham Parking Deck at the rate of $5 a space. Guests should enter the parking deck on the Lawson Street side. Arrangements must be made through the Traffic Office before the conference, program or special event.
If a university department chooses to pay, the department must submit a written request by email (http://www.nccu.edu/formsdocs/proxy.cfm?file_id=2280), and an invoice must be signed. Requests must be submitted 10 working days prior to the scheduled event or it will not be processed. Once the fee has been paid, we will issue the permits to the department.
All vendors/contractors working on campus must register their vehicles with University Police and purchase a parking permit ($300 per year). All departments requesting vendor permits should pre-order them. No permits will be issued if a two-week pre-order is not received by the University Police Department.
Faculty, staff, students and visitors have the right to appeal a campus parking citation issued for violation of the university’s parking and traffic regulations. Appeals must be submitted within five days of the violation. Appeal forms are available on NCCU’s website (enter appeal form in the search field). Complete, print and bring the form to the Traffic Office (or mail to the University Police Department, 2010 Fayetteville St., Durham, NC 27707) along with the ticket and a self-addressed stamped envelope.
The Citation Appeal Board is made up of faculty, staff and students. Once the appeal has been heard and a decision made, notice is sent to the appellant informing him or her of the decision by mail. If you fail to comply with the appeal guidelines, your appeal will not be honored.
University Police may issue either a university citation or a uniform state citation for moving violations occurring on campus. Moving violations include (1) failure to stop for a stop sign, (2) one-way street violations, (3) exceeding safe speed, (4) careless and reckless driving, (5) illegal left turn, and (6) unsafe movement. The University Police will also issue state citations for seat belt violations.
If the conduct of any student or employee establishes a continuing pattern of violations or disregard of parking regulations, the chancellor may temporarily suspend him or her from enrollment or employment, pending a hearing.
All Eagle Club and reserve parking for football game days will be handled through the Athletic Department. During O’Kelly-Riddick Stadium events, traffic may be restricted. For Saturday home football games, Nelson Street at Lincoln Street, Eagle Campus Drive and George Street will be closed to through traffic starting at 7 p.m. on Friday. To better accommodate patrons and permit holders, certain lots will be reserved or have spaces reserved for employees who report for work on game days or evenings. Even with a valid permit, commuters and other employees may not park in these lots, reserved spaces or in public lots without paying the event fee.
Certain lots are reserved for Eagle Club parking. Employees and students are required to move their vehicles from the Walker Complex, the O’Kelly lot, the Criminal Justice lot, Law School, Eagle Campus Drive, Latham Parking Deck and the Communication lot by 7 p.m. on the Fridays before home-game Saturdays. Employees and students with permits for these lots will have to pay to park on game days. Students residing on campus must move their vehicles by 7 p.m. on Friday to the lower lot of the Science Complex.
Those scheduling other events on game days must make arrangements for parking with the Athletics Department at 919-530-7057.
Payroll deductions for faculty and staff will begin at the start of the fiscal year and will be ongoing unless the patron notifies Parking Services in writing to discontinue (http://www.nccu.edu/formsdocs/proxy.cfm?file_id=2281) the monthly deductions. Employees enrolling in payroll deduction after the start of the year will have their monthly deductions calculated by dividing the number of months remaining in the fiscal year by the amount of the permit.
