• Unpaid Guest Speaker: Visitors invited by faculty to speak in a class and not paid for their time.
• Unpaid Volunteer: Persons volunteering their time without compensation. Volunteers working on campus more than 3 days must apply for a volunteer semester parking permit.

Waived-fee parking permits also have the following requirements:

• The request must be for a maximum of 3 days. Anyone on campus more than 3 days is not considered a "visitor" and must use standard permit options.

• The visitor is not an enrolled Sac State student.
• The visitor is not a Sac State faculty or staff (active or retired).
• The visitor is not compensated in any way for their time on campus.
• The visitor is not a contractor, consultant, or vendor.
• The visitor is not a student or teacher attending a class, training, workshop, conference, or camp.

Anyone not meeting all the criteria above must pay parking fees. UTAPS may require official documentation proving the above criteria are met.
