Parking on Campus

Parking on Campus
 
All registered students at the University of Findlay are permitted to have a motor vehicle on campus regardless of class standing. All students who wish to park their vehicles in campus parking lots or on any property owned by the University must be registered with the Campus Security Office, located in Lovett Hall.

Registration must be completed within five days of the start of the fall semester, or within three days of bringing the vehicle campus. The University assumes no responsibility for vehicles or their contents while vehicles are parked on University controlled property.

The student is responsible for reporting any change of license plate number within three days of the date on which the new number was changed in the appropriate state bureauof motor vehicles. A student operating more than one vehicle must reqister both vehicles and have a separate parking permit for each vehicle that is driven.

How to Register Online

Go to http://my.findlay.edu/ and log in using you e-mail user name and password. Click on the UF INTRANET tab, and then click on ONLINE PARKING PERMIT REGISTRATION. Complete the form accurately, and then click SUBMIT. You can then pick up your permit at the Security Office during the first week of classes.

Parking Permits


The parking hanger must be displayed or hung from the rearview mirror and face outward. Should the vehicle be missing the rear view miror, the permit must be displayed on the dash in a manner that can be readily seen by Security. a parking sticker must be displayed on motorcycles, motor bikes, and other types of motor vehicles so that it can be easily seen. All students must produce a valid student ID card when registering.

Traffic Regulations

The campus speed limit is 10 miles per hour. Restricted and reserved parking areas are so marked. All of the lots are striped to keep the parking lots orderly. Yellow striped spaces are reserved for faculty and staff, green stripes are for commuters, and white stripes are for resident student parking. Commuters may park in white striped stalls if green are filled. 

The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with the vehicle operator. Lack of space is not considered a valid excuse for violatin of these regulations.
