2.11.1 : Permit Parking

Greenville University provides limited, but adequate parking for students, faculty, and staff in a variety of campus lots. Greenville University is primarily a “walking” campus, in that all points of the main campus are in reasonable walking distance. Resident students (those living in campus housing) are expected to walk to and from class, chapel, and dining. Students should use their vehicles for travel off campus only. All resident students who bring a vehicle to campus must purchase a parking permit sticker and display it on driver side of the rear window. Since Greenville University is located within a residential community with limited parking resources, the university requires all resident students (those living on-campus) to park in Greenville University parking lots only. This is not a city ordinance or city administrative issue, but a way for the university to be a responsible member of the Greenville community. Resident student vehicles found parked off campus may be ticketed. The authority to ticket off-campus comes from the university’s ability to establish policies governing student conduct. Failure to comply with this policy is the same as failure to obey any university rule or policy. Students receiving tickets for parking in off-campus areas will be treated as any other violator of parking policies.

Commuter students (those living off-campus) are required to purchase a parking permit if they park in any campus parking lot.
Parking permits are not valid unless properly displayed and are valid only for the vehicle to which it is registered and may not be transferred between vehicles.
Permits are valid for the academic year in which it was purchased and may be obtained from Campus Safety during regular business hours. To receive a permit, one must complete a registration form and submit proof of driver’s license, vehicle registration and auto insurance. The State of Illinois requires all motorists to have liability insurance, including a minimum coverage of five-thousand dollars ($5,000) property damage and twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) public liability.
