GOLD permits can be revoked at the discretion of the University if the permit holder has been proven to abuse his/her privilege. Fraudulent misuse by display of a lost, stolen, or counterfeited permit is punishable by administrative fine and total revocation of parking privilege (Example: allowing others to use the permit).

Event Impacts

GOLD permit holders are required to vacate lots for special events such as home Football Games at Scott Stadium, concerts/acts at John Paul Jones Arena (JPJ), or concerts at Cabell Hall by the posted vacate times.

GOLD permit holders who park at the lots or garage at Scott Stadium should check the home Football Game schedule for restricted parking dates and times.
