Park safe, park smart on the Hill
Ample parking is available both on and immediately adjacent to the La
G
range College campus. To ensure public safety, students, faculty and staff must
park in legal spaces. (Designated zones are outlined below.)
Keeping access roads open to emergency vehicles in case of fire or life-threatening
events is vital to everyone on the Hill. As a result, the college enforces a tow-away
zone on the fire access roads on campus.
This means that any vehicle parked in an area with yellow curbing and signage is towed and fined.
The college's complete parking policy appears below. Use it as your guide to parking
responsibly and safely.
Parking on the Hill
Registration of Vehicles
-
All vehicles operated on the campus by administration, faculty, staff, and students
(both resident and commuters) must be registered in the Business Office and must
bear a permit as prescribed by the College. Motorcycles must also be registered.
Boats, trailers, and campers are not allowed on the main campus longer than 24
hours during the regular school year.
-
Parking decals must be affixed to the vehicle's lower left back window. It must be clearly visible.
-
Persons authorized to have vehicles will be allowed one week from the first day
of classes to register them without penalty provided they have been parking in
the proper zone. A late registration fee of $25 per month will be imposed
for failing to register a vehicle within the time allotted.
-
Parking permits are valid for one year beginning in September. Normal registration
for students is during enrollment and before classes begin. Cost of permits
is prorated as follows: Fall Semester Permits, $30; Jan Term Permits, $20; Spring
Permits, $15.00; and Summer Permits, $5. This fee is assessed during the
registration process and is included in a student's tuition fees.
-
A student will be allowed to register a second personal vehicle for an additional
$30 fee.
