Snow Events

The following maps are utilized during Biddeford campus snow events. The director of Facilities will send a community email at least 24 hours prior to the implementation of any of these maps. The snow plan may be in effect for multiple days depending on the timing of the storm. The lot closure times are 9 p.m. for all red lots and 11 p.m. for the yellow Forum lot (#29). The school closed map (PDF) is essentially the same map, but the red lot closure times go into effect immediately upon school closing. The only parking lots open during a school closure are residential lots and half of the Campus Center lot (#13) closest to the athletic fields. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the Office of Safety and Security at 602-2298.

Parking Policies

Parking Permits

All students, faculty, and professional staff parking on university property must display a valid, current university parking permit decal that is appropriate for the lot and space in which they must be parked.

No motor vehicle (as defined by Maine State Law) may be parked on campus without a current year parking decal or temporary parking pass. Permits expire on the last day of August each year, and new, current permits must be displayed by September 1. All permit decals issued must be displayed clearly on the window of the issued vehicle, except virtual permits where no permit decal is issued.

How to Obtain a UNE Parking Permit

All permit decals are sold online at une.thepermitstore.com. The cost of a University parking permit is a flat fee based on the permit type and is non-negotiable or refundable. The cost must be paid online by credit card or billed to the student account (must have a valid PRN). Permits are available beginning in early August for the following academic year.
