Any student, faculty or staff member, or any other person leaving campus for an extended period of time (i.e. a sports team trip, a family emergency, winter recess, a long weekend, vacation, etc.) who intends to leave their vehicle on campus should be aware of our emergency vehicle removal procedures.
These procedures dictate that at times we must clear certain areas, such as but not limited to parking lots and roadways.
Abandoned vehicles, vehicles left behind by those leaving campus, disabled vehicles and even legally parked vehicles may need to be removed under circumstances beyond our control.
- snow removal
- construction needs
- parking lot closures
- repair problems
- emergencies
Will dictate the removal of these vehicles.
In all instances an attempt to notify vehicle owners will be made by on-campus means. This may include e-mail, public announcements, flyers and telephone messages when practical.
When leaving campus, vehicles left behind must be moved to the "Long Term Parking Areas".
These areas are designated as
- Lot B (rear of Cushing Village)
- Lot F (next to the baseball field)
- the Trustco Bank Center which is located across the street from the main campus.
Vehicles left in other lots WILL BE TOWED when necessary to remove snow, with the person responsible for the vehicle being billed for the tow charges.
At no time can anyone leave their vehicle parked on campus for the entire summer. If you are not enrolled in summer courses, your vehicle must be removed at the end of the academic year.
If you are enrolled in courses or employed by the University, then you may have a vehicle on campus during those times.
The towing of vehicles for these emergencies is infrequent but all persons should be aware that these situations could occur.
The University accepts no responsibility for fees charged by towing companies for vehicle removal. All vehicles parked on campus are parked at the owner/ operators risk.
