Vendor Permits
Who Is Considered a Vendor?
Vendors are defined as individuals from companies who are parking on the UCCS campus for the sole purpose of servicing/maintaining University equipment (ex., copiers, elevators, fire systems, etc.). As such, these companies may request a vendor permit, allowing them to park in time-restricted parking spaces and loading docks for up to one hour. If no time-restricted parking space or loading dock is available, they may also park in Orange, Yellow & Blue (100-300 series) parking lots by displaying their vendor permit and registering their vehicle license plate(s) under this Vendor Program.
How to Request a Vendor Permit
To apply for a complimentary Vendor permit, a representative from the company performing the maintenance will need to do the following:
Send a request to parking@uccs.edu. The request must:
1. Use an official company letterhead
2. List what type of UCCS equipment they will be servicing/maintaining
3. List the names and the vehicle license plates of all individuals using the vendor permit
4. Demonstrate your specific need to access these loading zones is extensive, frequent, and long-term (continuous throughout the year) and would normally exceed the posted allowable time. If your on campus for a short-term need such as a one-time fix to a piece of equipment and you won't be back on campus again for several months or longer, this permit is not for you. Please call the parking office instead if your need is not long-term and frequent throughout the year.
5. Provide a signature on this company letterhead from an official at the company authorized to approve such a request.
*Your license plate is your permit!* If you need to change the license plates associated with your permits, please contact parking@uccs.edu at least 2 business days before parking on campus.
DID YOU KNOW: Salespeople conducting business with UCCS are NOT considered vendors by our definition; therefore, they are not allowed to participate in this program.
