7. Are first year students allowed to have a car on campus?

Yes, first year PGM students may apply for a parking permit. Due to the nature of the program and students needing to travel to various golf courses for play, practice, player development and service learning activities, University Transportation will grant parking permits to students who bring a vehicle to campus. Parking permits may not be issued in areas directly near residence halls. Only students residing in Avent Ferry Residence Hall will have close access to his / her vehicle. Other permits may be granted for parking lots on the outer fringes of campus.  NC State University is mainly a pedestrian campus and parking permits issued for these areas is common.
