Learn About Parking Fee Waiver Eligibility
If you have a qualifying DMV disabled parking placard or license plates and demonstrate financial need, you may be eligible to have your CSUSB semester parking fee waived.
You'll need to complete the waiver process each semester you want to receive the benefit.
Where Can I Get the Waiver Form?
You can get the Request for Waiver of Campus Parking Fees from:
- Services to Students with Disabilities: University Hall, Room 183 (UH-183)
- Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships: University Hall, Room 150 (UH-150)
- Parking Services: University Hall, Room 039 (UH-039)
How Do I Request the Waiver?
You must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA®) for the current year.
The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will use your FAFSA information to determine whether you demonstrate the financial need required for the parking fee waiver.
If you're financially eligible, Financial Aid will complete Step One of the Request for Waiver of Campus Parking Fees form.
Parking Services will complete Step Two of the form.
You'll need to show your valid state DMV disabled parking placard or license plates. The placard or plates must be in your name.
If Financial Aid has determined that you meet the financial need requirement and Parking Services verifies your DMV documentation, you'll receive your semester parking permit at no cost.
You must request the parking fee waiver each semester.
Parking permits become available through Parking Services shortly before the beginning of each semester.
If you're eligible for the waiver but have already purchased your semester parking permit, Parking Services can arrange for you to receive a refund from the Accounting Department.
If You Receive Services from the Department of Rehabilitation
If you're a client of the Department of Rehabilitation (DOR) and receive financial aid, there are additional steps you'll need to complete.
Federal financial aid law and state law governing the Department of Rehabilitation require the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships and DOR to exchange information about your financial aid. This information is used to coordinate the assistance you receive from both programs.
What Do I Need to Do?
Apply for financial aid every year.
The source material for this page lists March 2 as the priority deadline. Because application deadlines can change, I recommend having the Financial Aid team confirm the current priority deadline before this page is published rather than hard-coding March 2 if it is no longer current.
The Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships will process your financial aid application and award the grants you're eligible to receive.
You'll receive information about your grant awards by email.
As soon as you receive your award information, provide a copy to your Department of Rehabilitation counselor.
Ask your counselor to complete the Department of Rehabilitation/Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships Information Exchange Form and send it to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.
Completing this step promptly helps Financial Aid and DOR coordinate your assistance.
If you receive a new financial aid award letter showing a change to your grant funding, ask your DOR counselor to complete and submit a new Department of Rehabilitation/Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships Information Exchange Form.
Once Financial Aid receives the required information exchange form, it can continue processing other aid you requested, including Federal Work-Study and student loans.
