| | | VASF Parking Requirements | The number of parking spaces available is greatly exceeded by the number of VASF donors who are eligible to purchase parking. Because of this, the VASF will not be able to provide parking for donors who miss published deadlines for any reason. In addition, the VASF cannot guarantee retention of any parking location, although every consideration will be given to help fill each donor's request.
Donor Parking Assignment
All VASF donor parking is reassigned on an annual basis. The minimum contribution necessary to purchase priority parking is the Ridgerunner level ($250-$499). Parking passes are assigned using a priority system that involves both a donor's VASF rank and annual giving category. Using this system, the parking guidelines for the 2003 football season are as follows:
- Nathan Dougherty Society donors, who joined prior to July 1, 2002, will be eligible to purchase 3 football parking passes. Nathan Dougherty Society donors who joined July 1, 2002, or after will be eligible to purchase two parking passes. The location of of these passes will be assigned according to their VASF rank, or in lot G10 if their rank does not allow for their choice of parking.

1. VASF gifts must be received by March 1 each year to enable a donor to receive a parking pass application. 2. The parking application must be returned by the stated deadline, along with payment in full, to receive a parking pass. 3. Handicapped parking is extremely limited. Requests for handicapped parking must be accompanied by a state handicapped placard each year. The handicapped individual must be in the vehicle to park in the assigned lot. The handicapped individual's name will be on the parking pass and identification will be requested by the officer in the lot. There is no charge for handicapped parking. 4. Please advise the VASF office at the time you order your pass if you plan to use a high-top van as some of the University's garages will not accommodate this type of vehicle. 5. Parking areas cannot be guaranteed, and the parking assignment guidelines will be strictly adhered to. | Questions & Answers Regarding VASF Parking | | Q: How can I get a parking pass? | | A: Parking is assigned to VASF donors and is done so based on their rank, unless they are a Bronze Victor category or higher.
