Parking Decal Information
Austin Peay State University Public Safety Division offers crime prevention and safety related programs to the university community. In addition, programs and information are available to the local and regional communities as part of our outreach initiatives. The following crime prevention and safety programs are available:
All persons who live, work, and/or attend classes on the APSU main campus, need a decal for the vehicle they operate.
Decals for students are available at Public Safety/Campus Police in the Shasteen Building and at peak times in the University Center lobby, near the Information Desk. Decals for faculty/staff may be obtained through campus mail if they are being purchased through payroll deduction or they can be purchased directly from the Browning Building cashier windows.
The University uses a hanging decal system, rather than an adhesive sticker. This allows the decal to be moved and used with any vehicle the registered person operates. Because of this flexibility, and the limited parking on campus, persons are entitled to only one decal. Exceptions are made for married housing student families with two licensed drivers, and in other extraordinary circumstances.
When applying for a decal, present a current APSU ID card and a paid fees statement. To help us assist you, we request that you also provide a description and tag number for the vehicle most commonly used with the decal.
