  • Fire lanes may or may not be marked; however, any vehicle parked along a curb or parked in the travel portion of a street or a parking lot will be considered, "Parking in a Fire Lane" and may be ticketed and/or towed.
  • Disabled vehicles must be reported to the Office of Safety & Security either in person or by phone (notes are not acceptable).
  • To legally park in a Handicap space, a vehicle must display one of the following: a handicap license plate, a Disabled Veteran license plate, a placard issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles, or a temporary handicap parking permit issued by the Traffic Office at Campus Safety & Police.Temporary Handicap permits require a doctor's note, before they are issued by the University.
  • 20-minute parking spaces on campus are for Registered Vehicles ONLY.
