We define a grace period as the amount of time allowed for you to start a paid or validated parking session — or purchase a permit — after entering a parking lot or garage on campus.
Grace periods are intended for quick stops, student or camper drop-offs and pick-ups, loading, and unloading.
You must start a paid or validated parking session or purchase a parking permit before the allotted grace period is up — or before you move your car to a second space — or you will be fined.

You must start a paid or validated parking session within 60 minutes of parking on our Gorham campus.
If you made a mistake and/or plan to move your vehicle to another parking space on our Gorham campus, you must start your parking session before you move your vehicle.
