College Vehicles
Authorized students who use College vehicles are responsible for any incidents that may occur with the vehicle. Students are to contact Campus Safety immediately if they have problems with the vehicle, are involved in an accident, receive parking tickets (driver is responsible for payment of ticket; a $25 surcharge along with the fine and fees will be applied to a student’s account for any unpaid tickets). A student who is assigned a vehicle must return the vehicle at its designated time and to its designated parking location, with windows fully closed, doors locked, fueled up, free of trash, and keys returned to the Department of Campus Safety Headquarters. College vehicles may not be parked in illegal areas on campus. Failure to do so could result in a parking fine. At no point should the authorized student allow another student to operate the vehicle. Students must have a valid US driver’s license for 2 years and complete the driver application through the Department of Campus Safety in order to be authorized to use a College vehicle.
Students who do not follow the outlined rules will be subject to disciplinary action and forfeit their ability to use College vehicles in the future.
