Such guidelines shall provide that the determination of the amount of the fee be substantially based on an analysis of the costs attributable to the operation and maintenance of the parking facilities owned and operated by the College at Oneonta. Vehicle registration fees are approved by the college president and in conjunction with applicable collective bargaining agreements based upon the costs associated with maintaining a system of registering motor vehicles operated on campus.

(b) All students eligible by college standards, who drive to the campus and park must register their vehicles and apply for parking decals. Parking decals must be obtained from the University Police Department, online, in person or by mail.
