Motor Vehicles on Campus

3. Student permits are good only in their assigned parking lots.
4. There is no student/faculty/staff parking permitted on the front circle between 7:00 am and 5:00 p.m.

6. Parking appeals have to be made within 48 hours of the ticket issuance. Failure to appeal within 48 hours results in losing the right to appeal and the ticket must be paid.
7. Vehicles need to be registered within the first week of the fall semester or as soon as the vehicle is brought to campus and/or the City of Allentown.
8. Guests of students that bring a vehicle to campus must register that vehicle and park in the assigned lot. Students are responsible for their guest’s actions and are therefore responsible for any tickets issued to their guests whether they are registered or unregistered.
9. In the event of snow, shovels may be borrowed through the Department of Campus Safety by providing your student ID card to Campus Safety while the shovel is in use.

Parking as you will see is a problem on campus due to the limited number of spaces. All parking spaces on campus are marked with white or yellow lines. Parking in areas that are not properly marked as parking spaces is a violation of the parking rules. Campus Safety and Student Council are working together to try and minimize the parking problems on campus. Any violation of the Parking Rules and Regulations may result in a fine. Please contact Campus Safety or refer to the Student Handbook for more information regarding vehicles on campus. To obtain a complete list of the parking rules and/or register vehicles please contact the Department of Campus Safety.
