The Florida Board of Governors recently approved hikes in FGCU’s parking fees and fines.
Annual faculty and staff lot parking will increase from $118 to $124.
Annual reserved space parking will increase from $535 to $562.
Regarding traffic enforcement, parking in a fire lane and/or blocking a fire hydrant will incur a $75 fine. If a wheel lock device or boot must be used, the fine is $100 (previously $30).
Traffic citations may still be appealed but will incur a $10 fee. If the appeal is granted, the fee will be returned.
In addition, the FGCU Board of Trustees reminds that all vehicles on campus must be parked head-in, unless they have a front license plate (at a one-time $50 charge).
The head-in parking rule has been in effect since 2015, but a transitionary period is in place. Until Aug. 17, only warnings will be issued to backed-in parkers. During the first 14 days of each semester, only warnings (no citations) will be issued. For the fall 2025 semester, first- and second-time violations of the rule will be issued a warning as part of an extended grace period.
Every vehicle parked at FGCU must be registered with a virtual parking permit. All hang-tag parking permits expire Aug. 31.
University parking regulations can be found on the Parking Services website.
