Important Information:
The Fayetteville State University Police Department will begin conducting a comprehensive campus parking sweep on Friday, October 16, 2026, at 11:59 p.m., in preparation for Homecoming activities. During this sweep, officers will inspect campus parking areas to ensure that all vehicles have the appropriate parking permits, credentials, or authorized Homecoming parking passes.
Any vehicle found on campus without the required parking authorization will be subject to immediate towing at the owner's expense, without exception. All students, faculty, staff, vendors, and authorized visitors should ensure that their vehicles display the appropriate parking credentials and are parked in designated areas before the enforcement period begins.
This enforcement initiative is necessary to maintain campus safety, preserve designated parking areas, and ensure that parking facilities are available for authorized individuals during Homecoming.
We appreciate everyone's cooperation as we work to provide a safe and successful Homecoming Weekend.
