Campus Parking Policy for Students

Revised 12.12.18 for Academic Year 2018-2019, effective first day of spring term/semester classes. The Parking Permit Application can be downloaded from the University Portal.

Information for Vehicle Registration (including Motorcycles and Mopeds)

Only students registered to attend classes at Chaminade University may park a vehicle on campus.
Students must register their vehicle (car, truck, motorcycle, moped) and pay the required fee at the University Business Office each semester. Students may have only one vehicle on campus, and shall only be issued one parking permit.
Chaminade University of Honolulu is a privately owned property and Chaminade University, by law, has the right to regulate traffic and decide who may park motorized vehicles on campus.
All students must comply with Chaminade University’s traffic and parking regulations.
Parking on campus is at the owner’s risk. Granting permission to park on campus should in no way be construed as making the Marianist Center of Hawaii, Chaminade University, or its employees liable for any damage or theft which may occur.

To register a vehicle and purchase a parking permit, students must go to the Business Office with required documents.

Business Office
Clarence T.C. Ching Hall, First Floor

Registered Vehicle Policies

Upon presentation of the required documentation and payment of the required fee, the vehicle will be registered and a parking permit will be issued for the current semester only, while supplies last.
Vehicle parking permits must be adhered to the interior, bottom left corner of the front windshield (driver side) of the vehicle. Do not attach decal with tape or any other form of adhesive. The parking permit decal is self-adhesive and should be applied as soon as purchased.
Permits are not transferable from person to person or vehicle to vehicle and are not to be altered or sold.
Motorcycle and moped permits must be attached to the front fender.
The registered driver is responsible for the vehicle while at a Chaminade on- or off-campus facility and for all citations issued to their vehicle permit number.
If the vehicle is sold or otherwise disposed of, it is the responsibility of the student to remove the permit from the vehicle and return it to the Business Office. A replacement vehicle must be registered as indicated above before a replacement permit is issued.
The theft and/or alteration of Chaminade parking permits are a violation of the Chaminade University Student Code of Conduct. A campus fine of $200 plus possible additional sanctions will be imposed on those found in violation.

No overnight parking is allowed except for students living in the residence halls.
Upon notice of a violation, the individual will be given seven (7) business days to pay such fines at the Business Office and then a Security Hold may be placed on the student’s account.

All non-registered vehicles must be removed from the premises by midnight. Guests parking in the on- or off-campus resident parking lots without a Temporary Parking permit will be subject to towing at the owner’s expense.
Violation of these regulations may result in the removal of the vehicle from the premises at the expense of the permit holder or registered owner. Revocation or suspension of a parking permit may occur without refund. All imposed fines are above and beyond any vehicle removal and storage charges. The permit holder shall be liable for fines for violations, whether driving or not.
If your vehicle is towed, please contact Campus Security at (808) 735-4792.
If any vehicle or its parts or contents are damaged or stolen, the incident must be immediately reported to the Campus Security Office, located in the Henry Hall Annex, or call (808) 735-4792.
If you damage an unoccupied vehicle on campus, report it immediately to the Campus Security Office, leave a note under the windshield wiper of the other car, stating your name, telephone #, license plate # and the name of your insurance carrier. There is no substitute for courtesy and respect for the rights of others.

If you do not understand where to park, please go to the Campus Security Office or call (808) 735-4792. A space not marked with a NO PARKING sign does not necessarily imply that it is an authorized parking space. It is your responsibility to be aware of the different parking designations on campus.

The following fines have been set for traffic and/or parking violations. Please note that after the second unpaid/outstanding citation, your vehicle may be towed at your expense in addition to a fine for the designated violation.
