Parking and Parking Permits
Parking regulations apply college-wide but vary from campus to campus. A complete set of the applicable regulations are available at the campus Security Office.
How to obtain parking permits information can be found here.
The parking regulations apply to all constituents; students, staff and visitors. The
regulations could not be simpler. Park where designated. Do not park were prohibited
or otherwise regulated such as in Handicap spaces or other specifically designated
spots unless you are permitted to do so and have the proper college placard displayed
in your vehicle. Each lot has been designed for maximum efficiency. When a car is
beyond a designated space or on an end-cap it is most likely infringing on a thruway
for fire or emergency vehicles or busses.
Parking infractions can result in warnings or fines. Fines start at $20 and can go
up to $100 for Handicap violations. They are only payable at Student Accounts and
the fines double if not paid within seven (7) days. Fines may also be mailed to the
office of Student Accounts. Please include the citation with the fine. Do not send
cash.
An appeal system is in place. Security officers do not have authority to rescind a
citation once it is written. Appeal forms should be filed within seven (7) days at
the campus Business Office. The forms are available at Security and at Student Accounts.
The citation should be attached to the appeal. Appeals are heard by the campus Dean
of Administration or a designee. The result of the appeal is final.
Failure to pay or appeal a citation not only doubles the fine but a hold is placed
on a student s file. This hold must be satisfied before grades or transcripts are
released or the student registers for an upcoming semester. In the case of staff infractions
that are not paid or appealed additional sanctions will apply.
Periodically, for some infractions, local law enforcement may issue a parking citation.
If you receive a citation from local law enforcement you must follow the procedures
as outlined on the state citation. These citations cannot be adjudicated at the Business
Office but must be processed through the magisterial district in which the infraction
occurred. State citations are considerably more expensive.
