The motor vehicle regulations are
applicable to all persons operating or parking a motor
vehicle on properties of Voorhees College. All traffic rules
shall be enforced on all College premises at all times of
the day and night throughout the calendar year. The Voorhees
College Police Department is authorized and empowered to
enforce these motor vehicle regulations and provide for the
safety of persons on College property. All motor vehicles
using College parking facilities must have a permanent decal
or temporary permit and it is valid for the time period
indicated. A Vehicle that does not have a Parking
Permit is not allowed to park on the main campus. Decals
must be affixed to the front windshield of the vehicle.
Registration of vehicles is to be completed at the beginning
of each semester or summer session and within five (5) days
after the date of employment for new faculty or staff. The
College does not assume any responsibility for motor
vehicles or their contents while they are operated or parked
on College property. Copies of the Parking Rules and
Regulations and schedules of fees for parking, decals,
permits, are available from the Office of Student Affairs or
Security Hut.
Important: A Vehicle that does not have a Parking Permit is
not allowed to park on the main campus; this includes all
employees and students.

Handicapped Parking Spaces:
Any student, faculty, or staff member with a
physical disability may apply to the Office of Student
Affairs or Security Hut for consideration in obtaining
special parking privileges.
-
Double-parking is prohibited at
all times.
Vehicles shall not be parked in such a
manner as to obstruct vehicular or pedestrian traffic,
wheelchair ramps, interfere with normal operational
activities, or create a hazard. Vehicles so parked will be
towed away at the owner's expense. Parking on grass,
sidewalks, loading zones, or on roadways (except where
specifically marked for parking) is prohibited. The fact
that a person parks in an unauthorized space or area and
does not receive a citation does not mean that the
regulation is no longer in effect.
Any vehicle parked on campus is parked
at the risk of the owner. Overnight parking of any vehicle
is prohibited unless special permission is granted by the
College Police Department. Disabled or abandoned vehicles
which constitute a traffic or safety hazard are subjected to
be towed away at the owner’s expense. This also applies to
vehicles abandoned on campus for more than 48-hours.
Locating a legal parking space is the responsibility of the
vehicle’s operator. Lack of a parking space will not be
considered a valid excuse for violation of any parking
regulation.
Unauthorized persons parking vehicles
in “handicapped” spaces are subject to fine and having the
vehicle towed away at the owner’s expense. Temporary
“handicapped” parking permission may be obtained by
contacting the Office of Student Affairs or Security Hut.
Regulations concerning loading zones will be enforced at all
times.
All vehicles or operators involved in
traffic, parking/non-moving, and decal violations may be
ticketed by College Police Officers. The citation shall show
the nature of the violation and the number of the issuing
officer. The person to whom the decal is registered will be
held responsible for violations. If the violator cannot be
identified, then the registered owner will be held
responsible.
-
Possession or Use of a
Lost/Stolen Permit
A fine for use of such permits will be applied, and
parking privileges will be revoked for the remainder of
the permit year at the discretion of the Police Chief
and/or the Parking Appeals Committee.
