Faculty/Staff Reserved Parking
Faculty and Staff may purchase optional reserved parking with a VRES (Virtual Reserved) permit or in the Stadium Green Lot.
The VRES parking permit is an enhanced faculty/staff virtual permit and is only available to current FSU Faculty and Staff.
This permit allows 24/7 parking, in a space designated by ORANGE signage and striping, on Level 1 of the Spirit Way Garage, along with the usual parking in all Faculty/Staff spaces, Student spaces after 4:30 PM and on weekends, and Loading Zones for 20 minutes.
- Permits are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
- With virtual parking permits, there is no longer a need for temporary or printed permits. When the vehicle's license plate information is registered and associated with the permit, the virtual permit is valid to park on campus.
- This permit allows the registration of up to 5 vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, etc., but only one (1) vehicle is allowed on campus at a time.
Quantities are limited, but space is guaranteed.
