B. Parking Regulations

  1. All students, faculty, and staff at the University must register their motor vehicle(s) each academic year. All vehicles must display a valid parking permit to park anywhere on campus. There is no parking lot on campus where students may park without a valid parking permit.
  2. To obtain a parking permit, a student must present a valid driver’s license, proof of current vehicle insurance, and a photocopy of his or her state vehicle registration.
  3. Parking permit stickers must be affixed to the driver’s side of the rear window or driver’s side of the rear bumper. Parking permit stickers may not be taped to the inside of the window. Improper placement, including the use of tape, is considered a violation and is subject to a citation.
  4. The responsibility for finding a legal parking place rests with the motor vehicle operator. Lack of space is not considered a valid excuse for violation of the University’s parking regulations.
  5. Parking is prohibited in all loading and service docks and zones, and entrances to all buildings. Curbside parking is prohibited in most cases.
  6. Parking is prohibited in fire lanes and in all yellow-painted areas (i.e. curbs and walkways).
  7. Parking is prohibited on grass plots, construction areas, or any other place that will mar the landscaping of the campus, inconvenience or endanger anyone, create a hazard, or interfere with the use of University facilities by others.
  8. Parking is prohibited in spots marked reserved.
  9. All vehicles must be parked within the lines on blacktop lots. Straddling a line or parking in the center of any lot is prohibited.
  10. The campus-registered owner shall be responsible for all violations, even when another person is driving the vehicle.
  11. Only vehicles with valid handicap authorization may park in handicap designated spaces. Unauthorized vehicles will be ticketed and/or towed or immobilized at owner’s expense.

  13. Resident freshmen may not have a vehicle on campus and may not have a vehicle registered in another person’s name.
  14. Student parking permits may not be used for more than one vehicle. Each vehicle must be registered separately.

  16. Each person operating a motor vehicle on campus is responsible for knowing and abiding by these regulations. Ignorance of the regulations is no excuse for a violation.
  17. Franciscan University of Steubenville disclaims all responsibility for losses or damage to vehicles operated or parked on campus, and is not responsible for losses or damage to any vehicle immobilized or towed.
