What should I do if I receive a message telling me that my order cannot be processed?
If you are a new staff or faculty it is probably because your employment paperwork has not yet been completed. You should go to the Human Resources Department (HR) to resolve the paperwork issue. HR will direct you to University Police who will issue you a Temporary Parking Permit good for 30 days. You should go online and order your parking permit at my.oldwestbury.edu prior to expiration of the Temporary Parking Permit.
If you receive an e-mail stating that your credit card did not go through, try to order again with a different credit card.
