Volunteering on Campus

A volunteer is defined as any person performing hours of service for the University without promise, expectation, or receipt of compensation for services rendered and is not otherwise employed by the University in another department elsewhere or in a student capacity. For the purpose of this rule, a guest lecturer, teacher, or intern, is not considered a volunteer.  

Volunteers will be issued BLUE commuter ePermits free of charge as long as appropriate documentation is provided by the respective department to the Office of Parking and Transportation.

An email must be submitted by the Department Supervisor to faupark@fau.edu. Permits are issued by semester only!

Any vehicle parked on campus must have an ePermit.

FAU ePermits are available to those working on campus, but do not have an assigned ZNumber (ex. Chartwells, Follet, Exela). To obtain your permit, you must visit our office on the Boca Raton campus.

If you are a courtesy appointment, you must bring an offer letter denoting your position.

Please bring with you: an email address that works best for you, your name, your vehicle information (vehicle make, model, year, color, license plate, and license state), and a method of payment (card, check, or money order; no cash).

These ePermits will allow for parking in the RED or BLUE lots on campus.

Please Contact our office for more information.

All vehicles parked on campus must have a valid ePermit. This includes Motorcycles and Scooters (with license plates that are made to be driven on the main roads).

Students, Faculty, and Staff can obtain a motorcycle ePermit for $20 through your Parking Portal. Use the Quick Links>Parking Permits>Parking Login to obtain this permit. Once logged in, click on the blue “Buy Permits” tab and in the dropdown menu select “Motorcycle”. Complete the form and submit.

For contractor employees, vendors, and volunteers, you must email us at faupark@fau.edu or visit the Parking and Transportation Office with your motorcycle registration to obtain your ePermit. A motorcycle permit is $20.

Motorcycles and scooters must be parked in designated motorcycle parking areas.  Each area is marked with a sign that clearly states "Motorcycle Parking Only".  You may find motorcycle parking in the following lots:

Lot 4 - College of Medicine
Lot 7 - College of Education
Lot 15 - Athletic Field House
Lot 19 - Library
Lot 22 - Indian River Towers
Lot 35 - Innovation Village Apartments
