Drivers who require parking consideration for an extended period of time are encouraged to obtain a Handicapped Parking Permit through the State of Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

However, for temporary issues including injuries (e.g., broken foot, leg, ankle) or medical conditions that restrict movement or makes walking difficult (e.g., heart concerns, pregnancy, circulation issues), a campus medical parking authorization is available.

This program is designed to identify vehicles that are allowed to park in handicapped spaces on both campuses (on-campus only) on a first-come, first-served basis. Students, staff or faculty members requesting medical parking authorization must have a valid CSB parking permit.
