This application must be completed in advance and returned when you purchase your parking pass. There are sections where parents and students will have to complete. Students will also have to show that they have a valid driver's license and the cost is $20. If you don't have a form completed at the time of purchase then you will have to take a form, fill it out, and bring it back before we can issue one. We thank you in advance.
