The Southern University Office of Traffic and Parking is a division of the Southern University-BR Police Department. This office is responsible for controlling the movement of vehicular traffic and enforcing parking regulations on the campus. The Traffic & Parking Regulations require all students, faculty and staff parking on campus to register their vehicle, purchase a parking permit and park in their designated parking area during the zone parking hours of 7:00AM – 5:00PM Monday-Friday. A parking permit is required at all times while parking on campus. Permits are to be purchased from the SU Traffic and Parking Office at the cost of $45.00. Starting on Tuesday, January 17, 2023 thru Tuesday, January 24, 2023, vehicle registration and permit pick-up will be at the F. G. Clark Activity Center from 9AM to 3PM M-F (No permit registration on the weekends). After January 24, 2023, vehicle registration and permit pick up will be at the Traffic and Parking Office. Please register for your permit online prior to picking up your permit at www.permits.subr.edu. You will need to know your U number to use this permit registration link. If you are having an issue with this link, you will be able to manually register when you go to pay for and pick up your permit.
Students may also purchase a student reserved parking permit $50.00 (in addition to purchasing their $45.00 required permit) to park in a designated area closer to their classes. There is a limited amount of these reserved student permits available to purchase on a first-come-first-serve-basis per semester.
Vehicles parking on campus without a valid parking permit will be ticketed. Three or more unpaid unregistered tickets will result in your vehicle to be booted and/or towed at your expense. Student vehicles parked in an employee area, reserved space, fire lane, handicapped area without proper credentials will be ticketed, booted and/or towed.
The Traffic & Parking Division has installed two types of meters around inner campus; The Multi Space Pay Station and the Double-Space Meters. These meters accept credit card/debit card payments only at $1.50 per hour. These meters are in operation from 7:00AM to 6:00PM Monday – Friday.
Students are allowed to park in any metered space on campus as long as the meter space is paid for at time of parking. Parking in a metered space without payment is a cause for your vehicle to be ticketed, immobilized and/or towed at driver’s/owner’s expense.
