Motor Vehicles All motor vehicles operated by students on college property must display a parking permit issued by the College. Permits are valid for one academic year and purchased in the business office. It is the student's responsibility to ensure their vehicle is properly registered. If a parking permit is lost, a new one must be purchased from the Business Office. Permits are not transferable from one student to another. If a student will be operating more than one car on campus, each car must bear a permit. However, if cars are “switched” the permit may be transferred after providing updated vehicle information to the Business Office. Handicapped Parking Parking spaces around campus are denoted for handicapped parking. Students and staff are expected to respect these designations by not parking in a handicapped location unless they have a permit to do so.
