Securing Convenient Parking for a Guest Speaker: Parking is tight at your university, especially near certain buildings. The campus has two large parking garages, and both of them are far away and downhill from the University Student Center where your student group is planning to hold a special event featuring a guest speaker. As the president of the group, you find yourself needing to reserve one of the few surface spaces close to the center. You have invited the guest speaker (a local businessperson, politician, researcher, or other accomplished person) to come speak at the chapter meeting on October 24 from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. This guest will be rushing to the meeting from work and will be carrying a laptop as well as various print materials to distribute. You think it would be impractical as well as rude to force this guest to park in a garage and then trudge up a long hill to get to the event.

The parking services website at your school informs you that you will need to submit an online request for your special parking permit, but the form has apparently been designed for campus personnel only (staff with purchase-order numbers and billing addresses). You call parking services to find out how you, a student, can request the special permit you need, and the parking-services representative says to send your request to its office using the “Contact Us” email address on their website. Write the message to get permission for the reserved parking space you need. While you’re at it, find out if there will be a charge, and if so, what it will be.
