Public Safety Information for New Freshmen

The Department of Public Safety and Transportation welcomes our freshman Class of 2020.

What to bring to Freshman Orientation to receive a Photo ID and Parking Decal:

• A photo ID such as a driver’s license or a high school ID
• To receive your free Adelphi University decal, you MUST register your vehicle with the Department of Public Safety  and Transportation, located in the Lower Level of Levermore Hall, Room 012. You MUST bring the vehicle registration or a copy with you to our office. You may register up to 2 vehicles.

A few things to know:

Your Adelphi photo ID card will give you access to the gym, library, and the underground parking garage. If you are a resident student it will also have access to your residence hall. Resident students will and Commuter students may have a meal plan put on their card.

• If damaged, bring the pieces (must have identifying information on it) to the Public Safety office to get a free replacement.
• If lost, you need to file a lost ID report at the Public Safety Booth located at the entrance to Parking Field #1 outside of Levermore Hall, and pay a $15 replacement fee at the cashiers’ office in the lower level of Levermore Hall. Bring the report number and the cashiers’ receipt to the Public Safety office to obtain your new ID.

Parking Is by Permit (decal) Only
