Being able to bring a vehicle on campus is a privilege. The school is not responsible for damage to a vehicle that occurs while it is on campus. A student has full responsibility for the security of his or her vehicle and must make certain that it is locked and that the keys are not given to others. Permission is required for any student who finds it necessary to go to his or her vehicle during the school day.
Vehicles parked on campus are under the jurisdiction of the school. School officials may search any vehicle any time there is reasonable cause to do so, with or without the presence of the student. A copy of the student’s driver’s license and insurance must be on file in the school office.
Parking Fee
Students who drive to campus must park in designated student parking areas. Students may be required to purchase a parking sticker from the school office each year. If required, the failure to purchase a parking sticker will be considered a parking infraction and will result in appropriate disciplinary action. Refer to the Campus Handbook Supplement for additional information.
Operation of Motor Vehicles on Campus
Any law or ordinance regulating traffic on a public highway or street also applies to the operation of a vehicle on campus. In addition to potential city citations for violation of motor vehicle traffic laws or ordinances, students will receive a warning and referral to the Campus Director’s office for the following violations:
- parking in a fire lane,
- failure to park in a designated student parking area,
- jumping (driving over) a curb,
- double parking,
- parking in a handicapped space or walkway,
- parking in a crosswalk or ramp,
- ignoring instructions from school staff monitoring the parking lot, or
- parking on a water sprinkler.
A student who has had parking privileges revoked may have his or her car towed at the student’s expense. All students wishing to exercise their right to drive/park a motor vehicle on campus will be required to submit a vehicle identification form each school year, which will remain on file in the campus office.
