Parking Regulations and Information for the Academic Year 2007-2008

All vehicles on campus are subject to the College's parking regulations. Vehicles owned/operated by all students, faculty, and staff are required to be registered with the college and obtain a CSS parking permit. St. Scholastica employees may obtain only a faculty/staff parking permit. St. Scholastica students may obtain only a student parking permit. Intentionally misrepresenting your vehicle by using a parking permit other than the one you are entitled to is a violation of the parking regulations.

Student Parking Application

(this application is good for the 2007-2008 Academic Year)

All students will automatically be charged on their student account for a parking permit at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters. Parking permits will be placed in CSS mailboxes once the online parking application is completed. The cost for a parking permit is $50 per semester. Students are allowed only one vehicle on campus.

If a student does not plan to bring a vehicle on campus, he/she should make certain they complete the online parking application waiver form at http://www.css.edu/x1770.xml. If you do not have access to the Internet from home or a public library, you can waive the parking application charge by using a computer on campus prior to the deadline. The online parking application waiver must be completed by the September 14, 2007 in order for the charge to be removed from your student account.

All student vehicles parked on campus between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. are required to have a valid student parking permit displayed on the rearview mirror so the permit is clearly visible through the windshield with the permit number facing outward. Parking permits are required from the first day of classes until the last day of classes each semester. The fee paid is a registration fee and not a guarantee of a parking space.

If your permit is lost or stolen, you can purchase a new permit from the Business Office during regular business hours. Permits cost $50 and can be purchased by cash, check or credit card. Please report lost or stolen permits to the safety and security manager as soon as possible, a temporary permit will be issued for 48 hours. Unless reported to the Safety and Security Manager, you will be responsible for all citation fines issued to your permit number.

All faculty and staff who need a parking permit must complete the parking permit application. If you had the payroll parking deduction last year, the deduction will automatically reactivate for the 2007-08 academic year. If you did not have the deduction last year, please go to Banner Web and activate the parking permit deduction.
