Special ND parking permit restrictions August 19-23, 2024

Look for follow-up email with temporary Move In permit
Your virtual ND permit is linked to your vehicle’s license plate number. This is how we determine where the vehicle is valid to park on campus. There is no physical ND permit to display. However, due to additional limitations and parking restrictions needed during the Fall 2024 Move-In event, August 19-23, ND permit holders are required to display a temporary ND permit placard for vehicle access to restricted parking locations. The annual virtual permit purchased will be intact for the duration of time assigned but a printed dashboard placard must be displayed and visible to staff managing restricted locations during the move in process. Regular permit and parking regulations will be in effect starting Monday August 26 at 7:30AM.

Please ensure the correct license plate information is registered with Transportation for your parking permit prior to arriving on campus. To add or update your vehicle information, please visit www.myparking.cornell.edu.
