Parking & Registration

All faculty, staff and students who park on campus are required to register their vehicles and display the appropriate decal. Parking decals are to be affixed on the inside of the lower right side of the front windshield.

Parking decals go on sale at the beginning of each school year (fall semester) and are valid through August 31 of the following year. The expiration date is printed on each decal.

Designated Parking Locations

Each parking lot on campus is designated for visitors, students or faculty and staff. It is the responsibility of the motor vehicle operator to find a legal parking space.

The lack of a convenient space is not considered a valid excuse for the violation of any parking regulation.

Rain or inclement weather will not alter any of the provisions of these regulations. Strict adherence to the traffic regulations are to be observed by all members of the university community in order to be fair to all.

Parking Enforcement

Public safety officers have been authorized to issue tickets to all vehicles that are in violation of the traffic rules and regulations at the university and we reserve the right to tow vehicles at the owner’s expense.

LR requires all individuals operating a vehicle on campus to comply with published parking rules and regulations. In certain cases, corrective actions beyond a citation may be necessary. Public safety officers have the authority to immobilize or tow vehicles as a punitive or operational measure when violations occur or when campus access must be maintained for safety or university functions.

 

  • Parking Tickets & Other Vehicle Violations

    Schedule of Fines Category I Violations

    • $50: Parking in a fire lane or blocking a fire hydrant
    • $50: Failure to register vehicle and/or failure to properly display decal
    • $100: Parking in a handicapped space or blocking a handicapped ramp
    • $100 Blocking a dumpster or trash/recycling bin (vehicle may be immediately towed)
    • $100: Parking in spaces marked 24 hours reserved, president or vice president

    Category II Violation

    $30: All other violations

    All Category II violations will be reduced by 50 percent if they are paid at the Public Safety Office within 72 hours of the time they were issued.

    When a ticket is issued, a copy is left on the vehicle. If for some reason this is not possible, a copy is mailed to the individual to whom the parking decal is registered.

    All violations and fines are recorded on the vehicle registration record located in the Public Safety Office.

  • Vehicle Immobilization & Towing Policy

    Lenoir-Rhyne University’s Vehicle Immobilization and Towing Policy outlines when Public Safety may immobilize or tow vehicles to maintain campus safety, access and compliance with parking regulations. 

    Vehicles may be booted or towed in cases such as repeated violations, safety hazards, blocked access areas, unauthorized parking or abandoned vehicles. 

    Owners are responsible for all associated fines and towing fees. Full details on procedures, responsibilities and common violations can be found in the complete policy.
