Belmont’s permits are now virtual with no physical permit/sticker and are tied to the vehicle's license plate. Thus, license plate readers are in use at the entrances and exits of all parking garages on campus and at the surface parking on the west side of campus between Acklen Avenue and Belmont Blvd. This removes the burden of issuing (including mailing or picking up), securing (no more lost/stolen permits) and displaying the physical permit. Because your license plate is your permit, just 1 number or letter being incorrect or out of place will result in citation.
Visitors may register at belmont.aimsparking.com. Registration is free of charge and may be done for up to two days at a time. Once registered, there is no need to print or display any permits on your dash as your visitor parking pass is virtual.
Registration of Motor Vehicles
All vehicles including automobiles, motorcycles, mopeds, and bicycles operating on campus must be registered and have a proper permit. Vehicle registration will be valid from June 2024 through August 15, 2025. All vehicles must renew their registration every academic school year.
Registration is done through My.Belmont by logging in to your account and clicking on the "Bicycle and Vehicle Registration" link under the Campus Security and Safety tab on the left. Before registering online, make sure you have the following information:
- Vehicle Make
- Vehicle Model
- Vehicle Color
- License Plate Number
- Best Contact Phone Number with Area Code
- Your local address (where you live while attending school, not your permanent residence)
Once you have registered your vehicle online, there is no need to pick up a permit as they are virtual, with the exception of bicycles.
Persons desiring to operate a vehicle on campus on a temporary basis are required to register a temporary vehicle under the Parking Tab on My.Belmont.
Students whose parent or spouse is employed by the university may not use a faculty/staff parking permit when the student normally drives to class.
All residential students must park in their designated zone during the hours of 8am-4:30pm Monday through Friday.
All vehicles must be parked nose into the space. Backing in, including those with front license plates, is prohibited.
