Campus Regulations

Motor Vehicle Regulations

Each motor vehicle, including two wheel motor vehicles, driven or parked on the campus by faculty or staff members must be registered in the campus security office (in the Business Office) and must display a valid official parking permit. Students are not required to register vehicles. Those parking spaces designated "handicapped" are reserved for those persons having impaired mobility.

Student/Visitor parking spaces are marked with white lines. Yellow lines indicate faculty/staff parking. No parking is permitted in areas not designated by parking lines.

The Security/Parking fee for curriculum students is $4.00 per semester. The Security/Parking fee for continuing education students is $4.00 per semester for students taking a class on-campus or via distance education that is 16 hours or longer.

Responsibility

The person to whom a motor vehicle is registered shall be responsible for all parking violations of the vehicle.

Disposition of Funds

Funds which accrue from Security/Parking fees shall be used for security, staffing a traffic office, enforcement, surveys, consultants, construction and maintenance of parking facilities, and for such other purposes and equipment as may be deemed necessary in the sole discretion of the President to carry out the traffic and parking program outlined herein. Violation fees are given to the local public school system as required by legislation.
