Vehicle Registration

All faculty, staff, and currently enrolled students who drive a personal or commercial vehicle on the DBU campus are required to register their vehicle(s) and obtain a valid Parking Permit Decal for the current academic year. There is no specific fee for a Parking Permit Decal, but it is included in the applicable Student Services Fee.

Vehicle registration is available in the Campus Security Department, located on the lower level of the Patty and Bo Pilgrim Chapel.

Vehicle Registration Process

Step 1

Carefully read the entire Vehicle Parking Regulations and Registration.

Complete and submit the entire Vehicle Registration Form.

Step 3

Pick up your new parking decal in person at either the DBU Police Department (main-level Mahler Student Center) or the Campus Security Office (lower-level Pilgrim Chapel).

On-campus students must provide a Verification of Residency card.
All applicants must show DBU ID, driver's license, and proof of auto insurance.

A separate Vehicle Registration Form must be completed for each vehicle that will be driven or parked on the DBU main campus.
