Parking Frequently Asked Questions

How can I purchase an ePermit?

Parking is free on Kean University campuses.  All vehicles must register for an ePermit. www.kean.edu/parking. Create and log in to your parking portal.

Will I receive a physical permit pass?

Kean University uses license plate recognition (LPR).  You will not receive a hang tag or sticker.

Where can I park?

Students may only park in lots with spaces designated for students (white lined spaces).   Faculty/staff may only park in lots with spaces designated for faculty/staff (yellow lined spaces).

Can I add multiple vehicles to my parking permit?

Yes, you can add multiple vehicles to your permit.  However, only one vehicle can be on campus at a time.  If more than one vehicle is parking on campus this will result in multiple citations.

I just purchased a new vehicle with temporary tag.  Do I need to register it?

Yes, all vehicles need to be registered, even with temporary tags, that will be parking on campus.  Use the temporary tag numbers to register your car – not your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

• Once the permanent plates are received, revisit the portal and add new plates.  Make sure your license plate is entered correctly.

I have a state handicap accessibility.  What if there are no handicap accessible parking spaces available?

If all handicap spaces are filled, you must park in a regular space ( white for students, yellow for faculty/staff).

I received a virtual ticket and I do not believe I deserved it.  How can I dispute it?

You may log on to your parking portal and appeal the virtual ticket.  Follow instructions under “appeal”.  Please allow time for a response.  You will be notified of the decision via email.

How can I pay my parking virtual ticket?

You may pay your virtual ticket online through the parking website www.kean.edu/parking by credit or debit. You can also log on to your parking portal and pay the virtual ticket.

I have a rented vehicle, what do I do about parking?

You must go to the portal and register the license plate of the rental vehicle.
