How to Obtain a Parking Decal

Online

Parking Decal Site QR Code
  1. Visit parkingdecal.ccsu.edu or scan QR code to the right and log in using your Office365 User ID and Password. (for example: ima.student@ccsu.edu and your Office365 password).
  2. At the main page you will be able to view your existing permits (decals) and request a new one.
  3. If requesting a new permit, you will need to know your vehicle’s make, body style, color, registration state, and license plate number.
  4. During the process of requesting a parking decal, your mailing address as it is in the Banner System will be displayed. This is where your parking decal will be mailed to. If it is correct, continue with the parking decal request. If it is not correct and it is not where you want your parking decal mailed to, stop and exit the application. If you are a student, go to Registrars and update your Banner mailing address. If you are faculty or staff go to HR to update your Banner mailing address. After changing your mailing address, wait 24 hours before continuing to request a parking decal.
  5. After submitting your parking decal request you will be given a chance to print a temporary parking permit. Print it out when you can and put it on your dashboard when parking on campus until your permanent parking decal comes in the mail. It will be good for 3 weeks. Until the temporary parking permit expires you can print it or reprint it by going into “View Permits”.
  6. Each vehicle will be allowed one permit (decal). Should you need a replacement permit (i.e. you were a resident student  but are now commuting, you were a student and now you are faculty or staff, replacing a vehicle but you are using the same license plate number, replacing your back windshield, replacing a lost decal) you will need to email the Card Office (cardoffice@ccsu.edu) from your Central E-Mail Account to have your current active decal deactivated. You can then request a new one on-line. Include your Banner ID, License Plate number, Decal Number and if you are changing vehicles and keeping the same plate, your new vehicle make, style and color. The Card Office will E-Mail you back when your existing decal has been deactivated. If necessary, you can come into the Card Office to do this too.
