Employee Waiver Appeals

There are very limited reasons that an employee could appeal and be granted a waiver from paying the maintenance fee. Fully remote work will not be a reason to grant a waiver. If you feel you should not be charged for the maintenance fee, you may appeal. For the first year, the President’s cabinet will hear the appeals. The appeal must be sent to the Vice President for Finance and Administration. A form will be sent to you from the HR office.

No Overnight Parking Locations

Overnight parking is prohibited on all University Streets from 1 a.m. to 7 a.m. year-round. Mustang Trail, Stadium Drive, Wefald Drive, Birch Street, State Street North, and O'Connell Street.
