Handicap/Physically Disabled

Special handicap parking permits for person with physical disabilities will be issued upon the recommendation of Disability Services and based upon certification as disabled by a physican and University Health Services.  A state handicap placard must be used in conjunction with a valid university decal.  Handicapped students may park in any non-reserved handicap parking stall on campus for the quarterly fee equal to the rate of the least expensive facility.  Handicapped individuals who wish to have a reserved stall must work with Disability Services and pay the appropriate rate for that facility.  Faculty/staff may park in any non-reserved handicap parking stall or white stall in an area or facility of their choice at the rate of that facility or area. Handicap parking spaces are provided in all cash facilities.

Unnumbered handicap stalls may be used by any handicapped individual who has a valid university handicap parking permit as well as a state placard.  Handicapped visitors must display a state handicap placard and park in a garage.  Numbered signs on handicap stalls at east, west, the College of Applied Science (CAS), Raymond Walters and Clermont campuses, indicate the stall is reserved for a specific handicapped individual.  Reserved stalls are limited to severely handicapped persons and require the recommendation of a physician, state placard, state plate or vehicle must be altered.  However, each case will be reviewed on an individual basis by University Health Services and Disability Services. 

Violators of handicap stalls, in accordance with Ohio House Bill #148, are subject to a fine and possible impoundment of the vehicle in violation.
