If you have a chronic medical condition that would not enable you to adhere to the current parking system, we encourage you to apply in your state for a state issued handicap parking permit. This permit, in conjunction with a University of Hartford parking permit, entitles you to park in any clearly marked state handicap parking space on campus.Vehicles found in violation may be ticketed and/or towed at the owner/operator’s expense. All vehicles parked on University of Hartford property must be registered with the Department of Public Safety before parking.
If you have any questions about parking, please contact the Department of Public Safety at 860.768.7985. The office is located adjacent to parking lot E and is open 24 hours each day.
Payment Options
All fees and outstanding citations must be paid in advance of issuing a permit. You may pay your outstanding bill through the Parking Services Web Portal. If you have a balance due for outstanding citations, you must pay full price. Discounted pricing starts at 12:01 am on the date stated. When you make your request on line you are PURCHASING the permit at that time and date.
