Any student or employee parking in a disabled-driver space must display a Ball State University disabled driver decal. Paperwork from the Bureau of Motor Vehicles indicating proof that the applicant has been issued a current disability placard or license plate must be presented in order to obtain a Ball State disabled driver decal. 

Any employee who has been issued this decal may park in the disabled-driver spaces (with the wheelchair access symbol), in the lot for which they have a parking permit. For example, a yellow faculty/staff permit, must park in the disabled-driver spaces in a yellow faculty/staff lot, or a red, restricted R1 permit must park in the disabled-driver spaces in R1, yellow faculty/staff lots, or green commuter lots.

Any student who has been issued a Ball State disabled-driver decal may park in any space marked with a disability parking sign (with the wheelchair access symbol) in yellow faculty/staff lots, green commuter lots, or red restricted lots.

In accordance with Indiana state law only persons issued Disabled American Veteran (DAV) license plates may park at parking meters without paying the meter.
