PARKING & FACULTY ID

Please note that this information is fluid. The parking website has the most updated information, should you need to obtain both your ID and parking decal.

Parking Policy

In order to receive a parking decal, new employees must provide information to Parking Services in order to register their vehicle.

- - The parking portal is here: Vehicle Registration

You should print the temporary parking permit. If the permit expires prior to the receipt of your new parking decal, you will need to obtain a new temporary pass from the Campus Police department located in the Administrative Services Building.

TCNJ Faculty ID: To obtain an ID card, new employees should email IDCARDS@TCNJ.edu a photo from just above their head to just below their shoulders.

The background can only be solid white or off white. No hats, scarves or tilting of the head.

- - You will be advised to pick up your new TCNJ ID at Green Hall.

We suggest contacting the Office of Student Accounts before the semester starts to be sure you are registered in their system. Their telephone number is 609-771-2172, and their email address is stuaccts@tcnj.edu.
