4. The registration of a vehicle on campus does not guarantee a parking place but affords the registrant the opportunity to park in authorized parking areas when parking spaces are available.

5. The University is not responsible for any theft or damage loss to unoccupied or parked vehicles on University property.

6. Infractions of parking regulations are the responsibility of the person who registered the vehicle on campus.

7. Parking along a curb on campus property is prohibited unless designated by a posted sign.

8. Parking on campus property along curbs or streets against the flow of traffic is prohibited.

During those times, although parking is limited, we ask that you park in accordance with the Traffic and Parking Regulations and do not move cones/barricades. Vehicles found in violation will be fined and/or towed.

SECTION 2: VEHICLE REGISTRATION

All vehicles, to include motorcycles, motor scooters, and mopeds operated or parked on University property by students and University employees must be registered with the Parking and Traffic office. The "registration year" extends from September 1 through August 31. Semester and one month temporary permits are available. Expiration dates are indicated on permits. The parking and traffic office is to be contacted for special arrangements when students and employees have special parking problems (i.e. vehicle disabled, loading and unloading, etc.). To be honored, the hanging permit is to be displayed from the rear view mirror with the parking designation clearly displayed toward the front of the vehicle. For a parking decal to be honored it must be permanently affixed to the inside of the front windshield in the lower right-hand corner (passenger side of the vehicle). To apply the sticker, follow the instructions on the parking decal. To be honored a motorcycle and moped permit is to be permanently affixed to the right front outer fork tube or behind the side mirror. The parking permit must be removed from the vehicle when ownership changes. The parking and traffic office must be notified of the change in vehicle ownership. University employees and students with handicap clearance must present proper documentation at the parking and traffic office to obtain a permit for short term or long term duration. This permit allows parking in any handicapped space and any area/space that is identified as reserved parking. All persons must present a photo I.D. when registering their vehicle.
