(a) No vehicle may be operated or parked on the grounds of the university without a valid State registration and without displaying a current campus vehicle registration permit, as provided in this section, and upon payment of an annual vehicle registration fee as approved by the university, unless the vehicle is not subject to such regulations.

(b) Prerequisites for registration.

(c) An applicant may register only a vehicle belonging to him or to a member of his immediate family. The term belonging shall mean owning or operating a vehicle for ones's own benefit.

(d) If anyone who has registered a vehicle acquires an additional or different vehicle, he must register it within 48 hours of its acquisition. If a new license plate number is obtained for any vehicle, the Parking Services Office must be notified within five days of the new license plate number being displayed.

(e) Vehicle registration permits must be permanently and entirely affixed and displayed when they are issued and as the university indicates. The person to whom a permit is issued is responsible for any parking violations of the vehicle. Taping and other temporary adhesion is not permitted. If the vehicle is sold or if student and/or employee status within the university is terminated, it is the owner's responsibility to remove the permit.

Upon completion of the vehicle registration form and payment of the required fees, a vehicle registration permit is issued to faculty members and employees of the university, including but not limited to the affiliates of the Research Foundation, SUNY Foundation and those companies contracted to provide food, bookstore, vending and child care services who have fulfilled the conditions set forth in this subdivision. Parking fees, as approved by the university, shall be charged for motor vehicles parked within designated lots, consistent with applicable collective bargaining agreements and in accordance with guidelines established by the university. Such guidelines shall provide that the determination of the amount of the fee be based substantially on an analysis of the costs attributable to the operation and maintenance of the parking facilities owned and operated by Binghamton University.

All students are required to register motor vehicles annually with the university and must do so within the time designated for academic registration at the beginning of the fall term. Students who enter the university at the beginning of the spring or summer term must obtain a campus vehicle registration permit upon entering. Students who reenter the university after a period of absence must obtain a campus vehicle registration permit upon reentering. Students who do not own, maintain or operate motor vehicles that must be registered for a campus vehicle registration permit at one of these times, but who later acquire a vehicle or otherwise become subject to campus registration requirements, must complete their vehicle registration within 48 hours after becoming so subject. Freshmen who reside in university residence halls are not permitted to register or park a vehicle on campus without permission given by the Parking Services Director.

(h) Any honorably discharged veteran in attendance as a student at the university shall be exempt from parking fees. Registration fees still apply. He/she must be enrolled in courses for the current semester and present a DD-214.

(i) Temporary registration permits, not to exceed three times per year may be obtained at the Parking Services Office, Information Booth or University Police Department dispatch office.

(j) Fees. Vehicle registration permits will be provided only after the appropriate fee, as approved by the university, has been paid. This fee is applicable to all permits issued during the year September 1st to August 31st by the Parking Services Office. There will be a fee for any replacement permit.
