General parking procedures
Vehicle owners/operators are expected to use the parking area within the parameters of the College parking policy and good vehicle etiquette.

Vehicles must be parked in properly marked parking stalls.
Vehicles cannot be parked by yellow curbs or other areas marked by yellow lines.
The City of De Pere, by ordinance, prohibits overnight parking on city streets between 2:00-6:00 a.m. Reid, Third, Stewart and Marsh Streets are city property.
All vehicles must be parked forward to bumper and in parking stalls as defined by yellow parking boundaries.

Weekend Overnight parking (Fri. & Sat. Nights) program - Fall semester (8/28/09 through 11/7/09)

The Upper PAC lot –lot 3 and the VMC lot –lot 5
Students can park in either of these lots anytime after 3:30 p.m. Friday and remain there through Monday 2:00 a.m., i.e. Friday and Saturday overnight but not Sunday overnight. Any vehicles left in the either of these lots after 2:00 a.m. on Monday may be TOWED and/or charged a $100 fine. The towing fines cannot be appealed.

Handicapped parking
Spaces in several parking lots are reserved for people with physical disabilities (with an appropriate sticker). Signs and bright blue symbols mark these spaces. A temporary handicapped-parking permit may be obtained through the Health Center in Main Hall or from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. The fine for unauthorized parking in these areas is $30.

Vehicles with properly displayed handicapped permits (state or St. Norbert College issued) are allowed to park within lots marked as "No overnight - No parking 2:00-6:00 a.m." However, if it snows during the evening, you are responsible to make sure your vehicle is moved to an "overnight" parking lot before 2:00 a.m. to allow our facilities department to do snow removal. Vehicles not moved will be towed at the owner’s expense.

Loading/unloading and short-term (15-20 minute)/errand parking
Short-term parking is allowed in the cul de sac on Marsh Street and in the indented loading zones on Reid Street. Vehicles must have their hazard lights on and be moved within the 15-20 minutes time frame. Any vehicles that are parked for longer than 20 minutes or are parked without their hazard lights on will be ticketed. Vehicles parked in the Reid Street loading zones must be parked parallel to the curb. Angle parking is not allowed.

Lot closed times
All lots identified/signed as "No overnight-no parking 2:00-6:00 a.m." are closed from 2:00-6:00 a.m. every day of the week. **

Lot open times
All College lots are open (free from ticketing with the exception of violators of handicapped spots and no parking areas) the following times:

3:30 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. Monday through Friday *
6:00 a.m. - 2:00 a.m. Saturday and Sunday *

*Vehicles must be returned to their appropriate lots by 2:00 a.m. each night.

Motorcycle and scooter parking
There are no permits required for motorcycle/scooter parking. However, they must be parked in the areas designated for motorcycles: along the east side of the PAC building or in the Third Street South lot just right of the entrance off of Third Street. Motorcycles and scooters can NOT be parked in regular car stalls, nor are they allowed to be driven, pushed or parked anywhere else on campus. Motorcycles and scooters must be removed from campus during winter (at the end of the fall semester).

Rental Car Policy
The College uses Enterprise Rent-A-Car for local vehicle rentals. Please read the Rental Car Policy (pdf).

Snow removal
During the winter, students must be alert for e-mails and signs advising them to move their vehicles for snow removal. The snow plowing of student lots will be announced via e-mail by SNC News and flyers posted in academic buildings, residence halls. Vehicles left in a lot that is to be plowed will be towed at the owner's expense. Towing costs will be placed directly on the student's account. Vehicles towed to the campus impound lot must be claimed immediately. Unclaimed vehicles will be towed off campus at the owner's expense.

Towing/booting
Vehicles will be towed for the following reasons:
1). Snow removal purposes from No Overnight Parking lots -Students can not park in any lot signed as a No Overnight parking lot after 2:00 a.m.-no weekend exception.

2). Not moving per a Parking Bulletin email notification -Students are resposnibile for monitoring the SNC News announcements and their SNC email accounts for parking bulletins.

3). Repeated violations of parking policy. Unregistered vehicles that have been repeatedly ticketed on campus will be BOOTED (immobilized- a $30 charge) or towed to an off-campus site until the owner can be identified and all fines have been paid.

Towing fines can not be appealed as an outside company provides the towing service to the college.

Vacation/break parking
Signs will be posted and a notice will be published in the SNC News before vacations alerting students and employees as to what lots may be used during the vacation periods. It is the individual's responsibility to watch for notices, monitor the SNC New publications and park properly. This is especially important if the vehicle will be stored on campus during the vacation period.

Wheeled vehicles
All "wheeled" vehicles * (except those that assist disabled persons to navigate through campus and/or St. Norbert College security/service vehicles) are not allowed on campus sidewalks. *To include scooters (motorized and non-motorized), bikes, (please review the bike policy and the storage requirements), in-line skates and roller blades, skateboards and the like.

All moped/scooters must be removed from campus parking lots by Winter break. The vehicles can not be stored on campus during the winter months.
