Campus Parking Regulations
All current students, faculty, and staff members have the privilege of bring motorized vehicles on campus. These vehicles must be parked within specifically designated areas. A map of our parking areas is available at the safety office.

All vehicles must display a current parking permit decal on the rear view mirror. Permit decals may be obtained free from the safety office by completing the registration form. The license plate number of each vehicle you will be using to come on campus must be registered with the campus Safety Office. Campus members may not park on campus unless there plate number has been recorded. A change of vehicle information must be reported to the Safety Office immediately. The parking privilege is limited to those periods directly related to class attendance and campus activities; disabled vehicles are to be reported to the Safety Office. Students may park on campus only during the school session for which they are registered.

The College provides parking areas at the owner’s risk. Union College is not liable for any damage that may occur while a vehicle is on campus.

The owner of a vehicle is responsible for violations committed by anyone borrowing his or her vehicle.

Parking privileges will be withdrawn for any vehicle used to transport illicit substances or stolen property on/off campus. Withdrawal of parking privileges and other penalties may apply to anyone driving recklessly or carelessly. Driving over curbs, lawns, or sidewalks is prohibited. Blocking fire hydrants, drives, entrances, refuse containers, loading docks, fire lanes, safety access areas, or other vehicles is prohibited.
Motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, or vehicles containing gasoline, oil, or other flammable substances are not permitted in the residence halls or college buildings.
The College provides designated parking spaces for handicapped persons. To park in these spaces individuals will need to have a state issued handicapped decal. A person who is temporarily disabled may apply for a campus handicapped decal by presenting a medical statement to the Safety Office.

Any student who receives their third citation will receive a warning letter from the Safety Team Leader concerning future sanctions. In the case of a faculty member this will come from the Vice President for Academic Affairs, and for staff members from their supervisor.

Campus members who exceed six citations per academic year will have their parking privileges suspended for a period of sixty days by the Campus Safety Department. Persons found on campus while this suspension is in effect could have their privileges revoked permanently.

Any person, whose parking privileges have been suspended and are found back on campus, will also have a vehicle boot immobilizer placed on their vehicle. You will required to sign a statement of charges for a $100. 00 fine before the boot will be removed. This charge must be paid to the business office within three business days or further action will be taken. This could include withholding transcripts or baring further registration. Persons attempting to remove the boot themselves could be charged with damaging College property.

The College reserves the right to have any vehicle towed. This is an alternative the College would prefer to avoid. However, any vehicle that is found to be interfering with College activities, safety access, or delivery of good or services is subject to immediate towing at the owners expense.
