Parking Rules and Regulations

General Information

Parking decals are obtained by using this form. Follow the prompts to complete the registration form. All requested information must be entered to complete the vehicle registration. By completing the vehicle registration, the owner/operator agrees to comply with all Lycoming College Motor Vehicle Rules and Regulations and assumes responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained on the registration form. Parking Rules and Regulations can be found on this page.

The Department of Public Safety reserves the right to revoke faculty, staff, student and visitor parking privileges for repeat violations of this policy, for providing false or inaccurate information on the Motor Vehicle Registration Form or altering any issued permits without prior notification and authorization from a supervising member of the Department of Public Safety.

Decals or permits may only be displayed on the vehicle listed on the registration form. A student may transfer a permit to a new vehicle for free by returning the decal to the Public Safety Office and filling out a new registration form to obtain a new decal. Loaning, selling, altering or using someone else’s parking decal or permit is strictly prohibited.

Obtaining a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space. Space within each designated area by those registered and authorized is available on a first-come-first-served basis.
