Parking Permit Registration

BOSSCARS PARKING DECAL ORDERING PROCESS
It is now time to consider purchasing or reserving your parking decal for the upcoming school year!  We are now using a new software system that will allow you to purchase your decal on-line by credit card.  If you do not wish to pay on line, you may reserve your decal and pay in person with cash or by check following the steps below.  Please use this information as your guide.   We recommend that you purchase your decal in advance to avoid lines and confusion during the first week of school.
Parking Services will be open on Saturday and Sunday, August 22-23, for your convenience.

YOU WILL NEED TO USE A COMPUTER THAT IS CONNECTED TO A PRINTER AS YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PRINT YOUR RECEIPT AND TWO COPIES OF YOUR TEMPORARY PARKING PERMIT.

The link for your decal purchase can be found on the myLongwood site.  Select the Campus Life tab and scroll down to the bottom.  The Parking section will be on the bottom left side of the page.  You will access the Campus Automobile Registration System.  Following a disclaimer page, you will enter into the Bosscars program where you can view your account, view your ticket history, appeal a ticket, or order/purchase a parking permit.  Follow the directions on each page.  Remember you will need to print two copies of your credit card transaction receipt, OR two copies of your temporary 7 day parking pass.  If you are only reserving your permit, you will not have a receipt but must print two copies of the temporary parking pass.

For those who pay on-line by credit card:  Print two copies of your receipt.  Keep one for your records. Bring the other copy of your receipt to the Parking Services Office in Graham Hall to receive your permit.  If you have not had a car before or if this is a different car than what you have used in the past, you will need to present a current DMV registration card.  YOU MUST HAVE YOUR LONGWOOD ID CARD TO OBTAIN THE DECAL!  Once you have your decal, you must immediately affix it to your car. 

For those who are reserving a decal on-line and want to pay in person:   Print two copies of your temporary permit. You will place one copy of the parking pass in your car and bring the other copy to the Cashiering Office in Lancaster Hall.  Cashiers will only accept cash or checks if you pay in person.  Credit cards will not be accepted for in-person purchases.  The Cashier will give you a receipt.  Bring your parking pass and this receipt to the Parking Office in Graham Hall.  If you have not had a car before or if this is a different car than what you have used in the past, you will need to present a current DMV registration card.  YOU MUST HAVE YOUR LONGWOOD ID CARD TO OBTAIN THE DECAL!  Once you have your decal, you must promptly affix it to your car.  Discard the temporary permit.

Notes to Remember:

  1. You MUST HAVE A PRINTER!
  2. You must order or reserve your permit using the on-line system.
  3. Cashiers cannot assist you if you fail to present your temporary parking pass copy.  They cannot access the system to recreate this for you.
  4. Cashiers cannot accept credit cards for in-person purchases of decals.  You must bring a check or cash if you do not pay on line.
  5. You MUST BRING YOUR LONGWOOD ID—other forms of ID will not work as your ID will be scanned at the Parking Office.
  6. Freshman students are not allowed to have a car.  Exemptions to the policy are handled on a case by case basis by the Parking Manager.  

PARKING REGULATIONS ARE ENFORCED YEAR-ROUND.  You will be expected to park in the correct decal zone.  Commuting students will park in red commuter zones.  Resident students will park in the lots designated for resident student use.  Parking in faculty zones or in prohibited areas is not allowed even if classes are not in session.  FALL DECAL SALES BEGIN MONDAY, JULY 6, 2009.  STUDENTS MUST HAVE DECALS BY THE END OF THE DAY, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 2009.  Please contact us if you experience a problem with your transaction.  Remember that this is new to us as well as to you and we expect some glitches along the way!  We can be reached at parking@longwood.edu or ricelh@longwood.edu.
