what counts as an "extenuating circumstance" in regards to a parking pass

hi all!

ill be a freshman at OSU in the fall and i plan to work at a nearby restaurant (a chain restaurant that i already have a job at in a different location) that is somewhat off-campus. it's a 5 min drive from the dorm ill be living in, but 40 min walk. freshmen arent allowed to bring cars to campus or purchase a parking pass unless they have "extenuating circumstances". would working on off-campus job that's too far of a walk count as an "extenuating circumstance" to purchase a pass?
