Parking / Motor Vehicle

Vehicle Registration

To enhance campus security, the University requires all vehicles parked on campus to be registered with University Police. As a result, all vehicles parked on campus must be registered using the online registration form found below. The only exception to the parking decal requirement is a visitor’s vehicle parked in a designated visitor parking area.

At William Paterson University, each community member is responsible for ensuring their vehicles are registered and operated in conformance with university policy and state laws. Only William Paterson University students who are registered for classes and University employees are allowed parking privileges.

Online Registration Form

Use this link to register a vehicle used by a student or a university employee. Please complete the online application and submit it.  If there is a problem with the online registration, contact the Police Department at (973) 720-2300.


Ownership of Vehicle

A person does not specifically need to own a vehicle to park it on the university campus. A student or university employee may register a vehicle belonging to another person with the University Police Department with the permission of the vehicle’s owner.
