registered for the fall 2008 term by the end of the lottery
application period.

the Carthage Business Office during normal business hours. A
registration form indicating your parking lot preference must be
completed at that time. A $140.00 deposit is required. This
$140.00 will be credited towards the cost of the permit. For
those students wishing to sign up for a Lot P permit, a $30.00
permit fee is required in lieu of a deposit. Permit Fees are
refundable for a change in residency status prior to the opening
of the fall term. After the start of the term only pro-rated
rebates will be provided.
- The campus apartment complex (1625 Sheridan Road) is included
in the parking lottery. The 12-space apartment lot will be
awarded via the lottery. Other apartment dwellers may purchase
Lot V permits only if available. You must be a resident of the
apartment complex to apply for this specific lot.

will be posted in the Todd Wehr Center and the Business Office.
- After placing all lottery applicants, remaining permits will
go on sale on a first come, first served basis on Wednesday May
14, 2008. The full purchase price of the permit will be required
at the time of sale. New students for the fall may purchase a
permit starting on this date.
- Students who are unsuccessful in obtaining spaces in Lot J
via the lottery will be awarded a Lot A permit unless they
stipulate an alternate choice.
- Permits will be distributed at the time of check-in for the
fall term. Students must pick up their permits by 4:00 PM
Thursday September 4, 2008. Unclaimed permits will be resold
after that date.
Prior experience indicates that all permits will be sold before the opening of the fall term and that no permits will be available for sale at the time of the August and September check-in. If you plan to participate in any internship, observation hours, student teaching or enroll in any program that will require you to maintain a vehicle on campus at anytime, during any term, during the next academic year, we strongly encourage you to enter the lottery to obtain a permit. Please plan ahead to avoid disappointment in this matter. Carthage Parking Lots Description and Information Lot J Lot J is located immediately adjacent to both Johnson and South Residence Halls.
