Applicability:
All employees, students, and members of the general public.
Background:
Except for official college vehicles and personal vehicles driven to campus by on duty employees, all other vehicles left on campus between the end of the day’s final scheduled activity and the first scheduled activity of the following day shall be considered parked without proper authorization.
In certain circumstances it is appropriate for College Faculty, Staff and Students to park a personal vehicle on campus for one or more overnight periods. Overnight parking may properly occur in the following circumstances.
- Faculty and Staff using college vehicles or carpooling for work related travel.
- Class field trip, and/or club activities.
- Athletics’ team road trip.
- Vehicle remaining on campus due to an emergency or waiting for repair or tow.
- Other circumstances pre-arranged with Campus Security in advance.
Procedures:
This policy shall be implemented through authorization from the President or his designee. All procedures are subject to review and approval of the Administration.
- Vehicles that will be left overnight or extended times will be reported by the owner/driver to Campus Security to be logged.
- Vehicles that plan to be parked overnight will park in the front row closest to the Central Services building (at the rear of the south lot.) Please check with maintenance in winter to find out snow procedures.
- Vehicles that break down, or are left in an emergency, the owner must, if unable to reach security leave a sign in the vehicle window with the name and a phone number where the owner/driver can be reached.
Rationale:
To ensure safety and avoid conflicts with activities and classes using the campus, any vehicle deemed to be parked without authorization will be subject to removal from college property at the owner’s expense.
