K. Student Vehicle Policy

Parking is a senior privilege, and preference is given to seniors first. Juniors may request to be placed on a waiting list on the first day of classes in August. Juniors will be considered if spaces are left. Student use and parking of vehicles at GSSM is a privilege, which may be revoked if vehicle policies are violated. It is intended to assist parents in the task of transporting students to and from GSSM during approved weekend leaves, long weekends, and to and from interviews and other activities necessary for college application and selection. Students are not allowed to use their cars for travel to medical appointments or extracurricular activities that do not require a weekend leave request. Parents are encouraged to consider all other transportation options, including carpooling, before requesting that a student be allowed to keep a vehicle on campus. Parents and students should plan routine doctor

visits, college visits, family visits and vacations, etc., during long weekends and holidays.

1. Parking approval is required.

a. Parents and students must complete and submit a Vehicle Registration/Approval Form prior to August 1st due to limited space. Forms may be obtained through the Dean of

Students’ Office. Parents/students will be required to remove any vehicle from campus if approval is not obtained or approval is revoked for any reason. b. A fee is charged for parking student vehicles at GSSM. The fee is $100 per semester, or $200 per year. c. Should the number of requests exceed the number of spaces available, spaces will be assigned on a first come first served basis. d. Once approval has been granted and fee paid, a registration sticker will be issued by the

Dean of Students and must be displayed on the rearview mirror of the vehicle.

2. Only those vehicles holding a current valid student permit may be parked at GSSM.

Vehicles may be parked only in the designated student parking area.

3. All pertinent GSSM rules regarding conduct and prohibited substances apply to permitted vehicles. Vehicles are subject to search when reasonable suspicion warrants. The student is usually present during the search.

4. Parking on campus is a senior privilege. Seniors who do not apply for spaces in May are eligible to apply for remaining spaces during the summer. Spaces will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.

5. GSSM is not liable for damages caused through natural disaster, weather-related circumstances or vandalism to any student vehicle parked on the GSSM campus.

6. Mechanical problems such as dead batteries, flat tires, locked keys, no fuel, etc. are solely the responsibility of the vehicle owner. GSSM does not provide service for such incidents and we ask that students check to ensure that cars are operating properly before long weekends and extended breaks. 7. Students must comply with the following:
