General Process:
"Hardship parking is an option for students in need of a parking space for medical, family, academic, extracurricular, or work reasons. Qualified candidates can provide proof of their hardship. First year undergraduates are not eligible.
All applications submitted will be randomly disbursed to and independently reviewed by at least two Hardship Parking committee members who must recommend the application to the full committee. Complete applications that meet the criteria set forth will be reviewed by the full Hardship Parking Committee. Approval of the hardship permit will be by simple majority. All meetings will be open to any interested party.
For questions or comments about Hardship Parking, contact Erica Pressley at empress7@email.unc.edu.
