Puzzling

This semester, I'm taking a graduate course online. One hundred percent online. The professor doesn't even live in this state.

And yet the U of M, in its infinite wisdom, has seen fit to send me a parking permit.

Does the university have special parking lots in which each space is equipped with a laptop? Should I drive for an hour up to the campus so I can email my assignments from my designated space?

I just ... now I'm worrying about the validity of my degree program.
