academic semester he/she serves in such a role. For example, a student participating in an off-campus program or off-campus internship is not eligible to serve.
The cost of a student parking permit is $300 per year, with the exception of permits issued for the parking lots near the Dow Center, which are $280 per year. Students who do not live on campus may purchase a commuter parking permit for $100 per year which allows them to park in a specified lot on campus from 8 a.m.-midnight, Sunday-Thursday, and overnight on Friday and Saturday. Permits are available for pick-up when students return to campus in the fall, and a copy of the campus parking regulations as well as a list of tips to avoid receiving citations on campus are provided to each student with their parking permit. This information is also posted on the Campus Safety website. The parking permit fee is added to the student account after the permit is picked up, and this charge may be paid at the Accounting Office. Temporary parking permits are available for students who have visitors on campus or who need to bring a vehicle to campus for a short period of time. Students are allotted a total of 15 days of temporary parking free of charge each semester, with a charge of $5 per day for each day over this limit. Students are not permitted to get temporary parking permits for other students. The temporary parking permit regulations are posted on the Campus Safety website. Except during open parking (5 p.m. Friday-8 p.m. Sunday), students who are assigned parking permits may only park their vehicles in their designated zone. Students who cannot find a parking spot in their designated zone should immediately notify Campus Safety to receive a temporary alternative parking area while Campus Safety staff address the situation. During normal business hours, it is never permissible for students to park in the Ferguson lot or other lots on campus if they are not assigned to park in those lots, so students who choose to drive to/from class or other locations on campus are expected to park their vehicles on the street. Campus Safety officers regularly patrol all campus lots, and issue parking citations to vehicles parked in violation of the campus parking regulations. Parking fines are as follows: $15.00 for parking in a yellow zone or in a no-parking zone;
Single Candidate Political Meetings Public political events/rallies for the sole or almost exclusive purpose of advancing a candidacy of a person(s) for public office may only occur if those events are sponsored by an officially recognized student club/organization. These programs fall under the same guidelines and controls that govern any other campus event. Individuals who are not affiliated with Albion College may not reserve space and utilize campus resources for public political events/rallies for the sole or almost exclusive purpose of advancing a candidacy of a person(s) for public office.
Parking on Campus All motor vehicles that are parked in College lots must be registered with the Office of Campus Safety. Any unregistered vehicle parked on campus is subject to being ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s expense. The City of Albion also prohibits overnight parking on all city streets, and the Albion Department of Public Safety issues citations to vehicles found in violation of this ordinance. Students who wish to keep a vehicle on campus need to register for a parking permit by visiting the Campus Safety website (www.albion.edu/campussafety/) and clicking on “Parking on Campus.� The permit registration process for returning students begins on the Monday after spring break and runs through the last day of classes. Students who register for a parking permit during this period are assigned to a parking zone based first on class standing, then on their housing assignment. All registrations received after this period are assigned to a parking zone in the order that they are received, and zone assignments are based solely on the availability of parking spaces. All incoming first-year and transfer students are permitted to bring vehicles to campus, and can register for a permit by going to the Campus Safety website. 80
