May I return it for a refund?

Parking Services will issue a 100% refund only for the first week of the semester. For the second and third week, will offer a 50% refund. After the third week of classes there is no refund.

Why do part-time students have to pay the same amount for a parking permit as full-time students?

In many cases, the number of credit hours taken is not related to the frequency of a student being on campus. A student taking 12 credit hours may be here just two days per week, while a student taking 6 credit hours may be on campus five days a week. This is not always the case, but you cannot compare frequency of parking to the number of credit hours/classes taken.
