First year Resident Freshman students requesting the employment exception must work a minimum of 20 hours per week of regularly scheduled employment within 25 miles of the campus. The University does not accept sporadic or under the table employment as sufficient for an exception. This includes contract work where hourly commitments can not be verified by pay stubs.
Resident freshman students requesting this exception must submit the following to the Director of Public Safety in writing. A letter requesting the exception to policy, which includes the reason for the request, and the specific days and hours the student will work. A letter from the employer on company letterhead stationary indicating the students employment status and the specific hours and days scheduled.
If the exception is approved, the student must provide proof of continued employment on a monthly basis. The student must submit copies of pay stubs from company paychecks by the fifth of each month. Failure to submit documentation on the fifth of the month will result in the loss of the exception and forfeiture of the parking permit.
If canceled, the permit must be promptly surrendered to the Public Safety Department or a $200 (+tax) fine will be imposed and levied on the student’s account.
NOTE: Freshmen permits may be denied or revoked by the Director of Public Safety if the student is in violation of the Siena Code of Conduct. Freshman permits may be suspended for the remainder of the semester for any freshman student who has received three tickets for violations of the University’s Traffic Rules and Regulations.
Freshman granted an exception will be directed to park in Lot“B” only.
Note – students who have registered an electric vehicle may park in and use EV charging spaces (green lines) for the purposes of charging their vehicle. The vehicle must be moved after four hours or once the vehicle has been fully charged whichever occurs first.
