Campus Automobile Regulations

Whenever possible, operators of motorcycles are requested to utilize designated motorcycle spaces. Signs and/or parking space lines mark all lots and parking spaces. Whenever possible, operators of motorcycles are requested to utilize less than a full parking space. Any vehicle requiring a state license is classed as a motor vehicle.

Registration: All motor vehicles on campus must be registered with the Campus Police office located in Shaw Hall. Registration forms are available for this purpose.

Color-coded parking hangtags are available every year. Only one hangtag per person will be issued. Permits expire 31 July of each year and must be renewed prior to 1 August. Loss of parking permit requires a fee for a new one and the lost permit will be voided.

The charging of fees and the issuing of hangtags merely authorizes the holders to drive and park on campus; they do not guarantee the availability of a legal space in which to park a car. The university will continue to monitor the demand for parking spaces. Operators of automobiles are asked to report to Campus Police Office for assistance at any time when there appears to be no legal space in which to park a car.

The parking hangtag must be visible in all vehicles which park in the assigned parking areas at all times while parked on campus or a parking/traffic citation will be issued.

Traffic citations will be issued on campus for the following types of violations: unauthorized parking, parking in fire lane, at yellow curb or on yellow lines, on the grass, in a drive way or flow of traffic, parking improperly or occupying two parking spaces, driving recklessly or the wrong way on a one-way street, running a “Stop” sign, exceeding the campus speed limit of 15 m.p.h., or parking in traffic circles, such as those in front of Beta and Hughes Halls, and in the lane behind Beta.

Vehicles found to be violation according to the above stipulations of the code may be ticketed, towed, or booted. Failure to pay fines will result in a hold placed on academic records and/or booting or towing the vehicle.

Any person guilty of negligent homicide or reckless driving upon any of the drive ways or other parts of the campus is subject to arrest by Campus officers or other law enforcement officers. Reckless driving includes driving on any area of the campus not intended for automobile traffic, such as sidewalks and lawns.

The university is not responsible for damage or thefts.
