Overview of Vehicle Use and Parking Regulations
These regulations are designed to foster the responsible and safe use of vehicles and parking lots at Carroll College. Students and employees are expected to familiarize themselves with all vehicle use and parking regulations. As parking on campus is a privilege and not a right, failure to comply with Carroll vehicle use and parking regulations may result in fines, towing, wheel-locking, or denial of parking privileges. Carroll College assumes no responsibility for any vehicle or its contents while operated or parked on campus. Carroll College has a limited number of parking spaces available on college property for students and employees.
Registration of Vehicles
All students and employees must register any motor vehicle to be used on campus by purchasing a parking permit for the vehicle. Students are expected to obtain authorization for their lot assignment in the Student Life Office and purchase their parking permit at the Business Office at the beginning of each academic year. Employees are expected to obtain their parking permit at the Business Office at the beginning of their employment at Carroll College. Registration is not considered complete until the rear view mirror hanger is in place or parking permit is permanently affixed to the inside, lower left hand corner of the back window. The permit must be attached in a conspicuous place on the rear of all vehicles without windows. The parking permit ceases to be valid when a student is no longer enrolled at Carroll College.
