Campus Traffic Regulations
All operators of motor vehicles are subject to college traffic regulations while on campus. Drivers must be in possession of their valid operator’s license at all times.
All vehicular accidents must be reported promptly to the Safety and Security department. The responsibility of finding a legal parking space, which is between two yellow lines, rests with the motor vehicle operator. Lack of space is not an excuse for violation of parking regulations.
