Motor Vehicle, Traffic and Parking Regulations

Parking
Parking lots are patrolled regularly (this includes weekends and holidays), and each person is expected to park in accordance with rules and regulations. Report unsafe conditions to the Security and Safety Office immediately.
At no time may vehicles be parked in unauthorized and prohibited areas such as on lawns and walkways, or in a manner that constitutes double parking, the blocking of walkways, roadways, or fire zones, etc.
The college reserves the right to alter parking assignments on a permanent or temporary basis when new construction, major repairs, and emergency situations require such changes.
No persons shall abandon a motor vehicle of any kind on college property. Should any vehicle parked on campus become disabled, the owner/driver of that vehicle shall report the condition to the Office of Security and Safety immediately. Vehicles requiring repairs shall be tended to by the owner/driver within 24 hours. Vehicles parked under the above-stated regulations for more than 48 hours may be towed away and stored at the expense of the owner/driver.
