To enhance the security of the campus, the University requires all vehicles, which are parked on the campus, to be registered with its Department of Public Safety. As a result, all vehicles parked on the campus must be registered online by each student and/or university employee. The only exception to the parking registration requirement is a visitor's vehicle parked in designated visitor's spot. At William Paterson University, its community members, who park on campus, are responsible for ensuring that their vehicles or the vehicles, to which they have access, are registered and are operated in conformance with university policy as well as state laws. Only William Paterson University students who are registered for classes and University employees are allowed parking privileges, and first-year resident students are prohibited from registering a vehicle, unless the Associate Vice President of Campus Life determines otherwise. A first-year resident student may be permitted to park on campus for health and/or employment reasons by the Associate Vice President of Campus Life, whose office is located in the Student Center. Ownership of vehicle A person need not own a specific vehicle to park it on the university campus. A student or university employee may register a vehicle belonging to another person with the Department of Public Safety with the permission of the vehicle's owner. Online vehicle registration To register a vehicle used by a student or a university employee, that person must complete the online registration form. To do so, a person must do the following after acquiring a university password: Go to webapps.wpunj.edu/misc/campus_police/ Enter name and password in appropriate spaces Read university's regulations regarding vehicle and press acknowledgement Complete online application and submit it. If there is a problem with the online parking registration process, please contact the Police Department at 973-720-2301. Temporary parking permit in lieu of registration If a student or a university employee must borrow a vehicle temporarily and needs to park the borrowed vehicle on campus, that person must complete the online parking registration process.
