Parking Regulations
Please adhere to the following parking regulations. Failure to do so may result in tickets, vehicle towing, and/or other penalties.
- No parking is permitted in fire lanes, driveways, drop-off zones, sidewalks, lawns or parking areas designated for guests.
- Members of the community utilizing areas for loading equipment into or out of buildings should so indicate by use of flashers and should not leave vehicles unattended for more than five minutes.
- Only bicycles, mopeds with motors disengaged, emergency, maintenance and service vehicles may be operated off normal streets and drives.
- Operating a motor vehicle or parking on lawns, sidewalks or other areas "off road" constitutes a violation of university policy.
Parking Violations
Lawrence University Campus Safety will issue five-dollar ($5) fines for the following violations. Appleton Police will be called for multiple violations by the same vehicle and they will ticket and tow those vehicles.
Tickets
Tickets will be issued for any violation of university parking policy, including:
- failure to register your vehicle
- parking in fire lanes
- parking on the lawn or sidewalk
- parking in a handicapped space (up to $350 per state stautue)
- parking in “visitor” spaces at Chapman Hall or the south end of Memorial Chapel
- parking in student lottery lots
- parking in faculty/staff lots during business hours
Towing
Your vehicle will be towed immediately if it is illegally parked in:
- fire lanes
- emergency areas
- sidewalks and lawns
- residence hall director's space
Penalties and Appeals
A student, faculty, or staff member may receive two warnings during the academic year without penalty. However, the vehicle may be ticketed by Campus Safety and fined five dollars ($5) upon the third and all subsequent violations. In addition, it may be ticketed by the Appleton Police Department and towed at your expense upon receipt of the third ticket and any ticket thereafter.
Parking violations issued by Lawrence University may be appealed in writing to the Office of Campus Safety. You may email relevant information to parking@lawrence.edu. The Director of Campus Safety will review the information and make a determination if the ticket should be voided.
Student Parking Violations
Only students whose cars are registered when the ticket is issued may appeal a parking violation. Two or more violations in any given term will disqualify a student from entering the parking lottery for the remainder of the subsequent term on campus, including the next academic year.
Excessive parking violations, however, shall be considered a violation of the Lawrence University Code of Student Responsibility (see the Student Handbook).
The Director of Campus Safety reserves the right to bring such violations to the Judicial Board.
