Sanctions include, but are not limited to, citations, towing, immobilization, and/or loss of parking and operating privileges on campus. View the complete policy
Building Access
The Police Division is responsible for the daily locking and unlocking of the administrative and academic buildings. Most buildings are open to the public during normal business hours during which time there is no controlled access. During the evening hours, individuals must have proper authorization to remain in or enter academic and administrative buildings. An exception to this policy is Hollenbeck Hall. A 24-hour access computer room is available for student use within this building. After 11:30 p.m. access to the remainder of the building is restricted as above. Officers patrol campus buildings throughout the night.
Bicycle Registration
Bicycle theft is a common problem on college campuses. Most bicycles that are stolen are either unlocked or secured with poor quality locks. Remember to lock your bike to a bike rack whenever possible! Bikes that are not secured to solid objects are easy targets for thieves. 甜瓜视频's Police Division encourages students to register their bikes by stopping in the office and obtaining a registration decal. Doing so increases the chance of finding your bike if it is stolen. Bicycle registration can also be done online through .
Vehicle Registration
Students with cars on campus must register their vehicles each school year. Unregistered student vehicles parked on campus will be ticketed and repeat offenders will be booted or towed at the student's expense. All members of the faculty and staff are also required to register their vehicles and display a parking pass. To learn more about how to register vehicles, click here.
