the parking spaces. Commuter students are not allowed to park in spaces painted green,

This includes Visitor spaces and WRC Library reserved parking.
2.3 Handicap & Temporary Handicap Permits
Handicap Parking Permits, either state-issued or University issued, are required at all times to park
in MGA handicap spaces in addition to registering the vehicle with MGA. By state law, the person
to whom the state-issued Disability License Plate or Disability Placard is registered to must be an
occupant of the vehicle in order to occupy a Handicap Parking space.
Under the Official Code of Georgia section 40-6-226, it is illegal to utilize a state-issued
Disability Parking Permit for fraudulent purposes. Violators’ vehicles will be cited in
accordance with the MGA Parking Policy and are subject to fines as provided by Georgia law.
Middle Georgia State University complies with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) by
providing designated parking spaces for persons with ADA Accessibility requirements.
Temporary Handicap Parking Permits may be issued by Middle Georgia State University upon
receipt of a letter from the requestor’s doctor’s office requesting a handicap parking permit. For
faculty and staff, these letters must be directed to Human Resources. For students, these letters
must be direct to the Office of Counseling & Accessibility Services. Human Resources or
Accessibility Services will determine what parking accommodations are to be made, and issue a
Temporary Handicap Parking Permit for use on MGA campuses.
Temporary Handicap Parking Permits may be requested by anyone requiring one. Individuals can
be issued a MGA handicap permit, or any other permit which meets their medical/physical needs,
for up to (1) semester. After (1) semester, medical documentation from the requestor’s medical
provider must be provided to Human Resources or Disability Services, as appropriate, to receive
any additional amount of time of handicap parking accommodations.
2.4 Temporary/Visitor Permits
Temporary Permits are available to faculty, staff, students and others who require parking at a
MGA campus on a short term basis. Temporary permits issued will not exceed (14) days.
Temporary Permits may be obtained by entering the vehicle information online at

Department and are free of charge. Temporary permits holders are permitted to park in parking
spaces designated for their status as faculty/staff, student, visitor or community member.
When driving a replacement or temporary vehicles, individuals MUST register that vehicle online
or with the MGA Police Department. A virtual temporary permit must be on file when a
replacement vehicle is parked on campus to avoid citation.
