Parking on campus?
Any vehicle on University property is Omaha should have a decal, temporary hangtag or printed permit issued by Parking Services through JayPark or is subject to citation. Phoenix students and employees can purchase access through their JayPark account to the Catalina Garage.
If you sell your vehicle, keep your decal, as they are repositionable. If you forget, you must park on city streets or purchase a day pass at JayPark. If you lose your decal, you will need to purchase a new permit at the price applicable on the date of purchase. If your vehicle and/or decal is stolen or totaled, bring a police report to Parking Services to get a new decal.
The person who purchases the permit is responsible for any citations issued to that permit, regardless of whose vehicle displayed the permit. Read more about in the “Additional Information” section below.

Additional Information
Windshield Decals and Temporary Hangtags
To avoid a citation, Creighton employees and students must have a repositionable decal, temporary hangtag, or printed permit issued by Parking Services through JayPark when parking on property at any time.
- Faculty, staff, and students may never park in visitor parking.
- Motorcycles parked near bicycle racks do not require a permit; however, motorcycles that take up a parking stall must display a current parking decal.
- Displaying a permit allows you to leave a vehicle in a parking stall, as space is available, but does not guarantee the availability of a stall.
- University ID cards and parking permits are required for all garages.
- Unauthorized parking in handicapped stalls, fire lanes, and specifically-designated stalls (e.g., VP/Dean, Facilities Vehicles, etc.) is enforced at all times, year-round.
Placement
The University uses a repositionable decal, which must be affixed to the interior of the front windshield on the passenger side in the lower corner. The entire decal must be clearly visible from the outside—not positioned behind tinting or obscured by snow/ice.
Repositionable
The repositionable decal allows you to move your decal to another vehicle for any reason, including getting a new vehicle during the year, driving a loaner or riding with another driver to campus.
Do not misplace your decal. Keep your decal if you sell your vehicle.
- Lose your decal? You will need to purchase a replacement for $50. Please see Parking FAQs for more information.
- Stolen or totaled vehicle and/or decal? Bring a police report to Parking Services to get a new decal. The person who purchases the permit is responsible for any citations issued to that permit, regardless of whose vehicle displayed the permit.
- Forget to move your decal from another vehicle? You must park on city streets or purchase a day pass through JayPark.
Special Section Areas
All employees, students and guests on campus are asked not to block fire lanes, fire hydrants, gate arms, or service/garage doors, or park on grass or landscaping.
