Traffic Rules and Regulations
All students, faculty, and staff are required to adhere to all rules and regulations related to vehicle use on campus. The complete guide to those rules and regulations can be found on the »Ê¹Ú×¢²á Homepage under the quick links to Security.
Automobile Registration
All students who park vehicles on campus must register their vehicles at the time of course registration. The cost of parking stickers is included in the student fees payable at registration.
Parking Regulations
Students are required to park in paved parking spaces that are not reserved for visitors or for faculty/staff. Reserved parking applies to vehicles 8 a.m.–3 p.m., Monday–Friday, after which time anyone may park in these spaces. This does not apply to visitor parking. A one-hour time limit applies to all visitor spaces. When paved parking spaces are filled, the College will provide designated unpaved areas for temporary student use. Restricted parking, including handicapped parking, is marked with appropriate signs.
Parking Permit
All students are required to obtain a permit that enables them to park at the College. Students must register for the permit through the My»Ê¹Ú×¢²á page prior to pick up in the Dempsey Center. The permit must be affixed to the left rear bumper or displayed in the left rear window of the vehicle. This permit will also enable staff to notify the student in the event of an emergency (e.g., someone hits the car). If a student temporarily drives a vehicle without a permit, he/she must obtain a temporary permit from the switchboard receptionist in Dempsey Hall. Vehicles parked on campus without permits will be in violation. Repeated violations of the campus parking regulation will be considered an offense of the Student Code of Conduct. Disabled students may receive handicapped parking permits after presenting appropriate DMV documentation to the campus switchboard receptionist. Campus parking lots have designated areas for the disabled.
Temporary Parking
For the first few days of the fall/spring semesters, staff members may need to direct vehicles into temporary parking areas. Students should follow the instructions given during this time period.
Parking Violations
Violations of parking regulations will result in fines and/or the vehicle’s being towed. Violations that are potentially dangerous, such as speeding and reckless driving, are subject to disciplinary action in addition to any fines levied. Violations for which citations may be issued include, but are not limited to the following:
