  Auto Registration No Charge  

Any vehicle that will be parked on campus in Siloam Springs must have a JBU parking sticker. This sticker is valid for one academic year, fall semester through summer term III. Students may register online and the registration fee is waived for graduate students. Those graduate students attending classes on JBU’s Siloam Springs’ campus or visiting there regularly will need parking decals.

If you do not go to the Siloam Springs’ campus regularly, but need to visit for any reason between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm on a weekday, you will need to request a temporary parking permit from the administrative assistant for your program area. They will email you a temporary permit that you will print and display on your dash to avoid citation.
