The day of snow event map (PDF) may be in effect for multiple days depending on the timing of the storm. The lot closure times on the day of snow event map (PDF) are 9 p.m. for all red lots and 11 p.m. for the yellow Forum lot (#33). The school closed map (PDF) is essentially the same map, but the red lot closure times go into effect immediately upon school closing.

Due to the complex and essential practice of removing snow and ice from the parking lots on campus for the safety of our students, faculty, and staff, the Office of Safety and Security along with Facilities Management have developed a snow removal plan that will be enacted in the event of unsafe conditions related to weather. In this plan, it is essential to clear visitor, faculty/staff, and commuter parking lots on the day(s) of the snow event, which will allow for other lots to be cleared in proceeding days after the event ends.
When there is a predicted snow event that is forecasting measurable snow or ice, the Director of Facilities Management will send out a community email, at least 24 hours prior, indicating that the snow removal plan has been activated along with the “Day of Snow Event Map” to advise the community on which parking lots are available during the event and which are closed to snow clearing.
If the snow event is significant enough to warrant a full-school closure, the “Snow Removal School Closed Map” will be included in the school closure community email by the director of Safety and Security and will be in effect immediately. In the event of a full-school closure, late start, or early release, all lots except Residential and half of Lot #20-Campus Center (please see snow removal map) will be closed for use. Parking in a closed lot will result in a parking violation for Obstructing Snow Removal will be issued in the amount of $50. In some cases, the vehicles will be towed on-campus at the owner’s expense and issued a violation in the amount of $100. For copies of the snow removal maps for each phase of the snow event, please see http://zoq2.thestudioentrance.com/studentlife/security/parking.
Appeals for Parking Violations
Appeals for parking violations can be made at http://une.thepermitstore.com and must meet the following criteria: A genuine, urgent, and verifiable situation that necessitated violating UNE parking policies. Any other reasons will result in the violation being upheld and the fine must be paid. All appeals will be reviewed by the Director of Safety and Security or their designee.
Anyone coming to the Safety and Security office to appeal a ticket without a scheduled appointment will not be seen and will be required to return when an appointment has been scheduled and confirmed. Requesting an appointment can be done by emailing parking@thestudioentrance.com. If the above-mentioned criteria are not met, the violation appeal will not be granted.
Questions regarding purchasing parking permits, violations, or other questions can be sent to parking@thestudioentrance.com.
