Students need to bring their vehicle license plate number to receive a parking permit. Returning students must present their parking permit to have the permit validated.

Students are issued only one parking permit which needs to be validated every semester they attend. The parking permits are transferable from car to car. There is no additional fee to receive a student parking permit.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) is a federal law that gives protection to student educational records and provides students with certain rights.  These rights include the ability to: 1. inspect and review their education records; 2. request the amendment of inaccurate or misleading records; 3. consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in their education record; and 4. file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by an educational institution to comply with this law.  FERPA also authorizes the release of “Directory Information” without a student’s prior consent, under certain conditions which are set forth in the Act.

The University of Michigan-Flint strives to fully comply with FERPA by protecting the privacy of student records and judiciously evaluating requests for release of information from those records.  Furthermore, in accordance with the Act, the University of Michigan-Flint has specifically defined “Directory Information” and provides annual notification to students of their rights in the University Catalog and through student email.
