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 bureau of motor vehicles. A student operating more
than one vehicle must register 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 rear view mirror and
face outward. Should the vehicle be missing the rear view mirror, 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 violation
of these regulations.
Traffic Violations and Fines
All
unregistered vehicles on The University of Findlay property after the
first week of classes without a valid parking permit will be subject to
towing. The first parking violation will be considered a warning (except Handicap and Fire Lane Violations). The
second violation will result in a fine. Should anyone wish to appeal a

Visitors
We welcome visitors on campus. Persons
who visit campus must secure a visitor's parking permit from the Campus
Security Office upon arrival on campus. This permit should be displayed
on the dash of the visitor's vehicle. This permit allows the visitor to
park in any student or faculty/staff lot except where designated as
handicapped or reserved.
