University Police Department Parking Services Division, 217-581-5416, parking@eiu.edu
Authority & Purpose
By the authority of Chapter 144, Section 1007-1009, Illinois Revised Statutes, as amended, the following rules and regulations have been adopted for control of vehicles on the campus of 宅男研究所 in order to promote the safety and convenience of students, faculty, staff, and visitors and to facilitate the general operation of the University. These regulations are established to insure the maintenance, control, and maximum equitable use of parking facilities and shall apply to all property owned and/or controlled by the University. The University may amend these regulations at any time. Advance public notice of changes will be given.
The Board of Trustees delegates to the administration of the university authority to prescribe parking areas on campus, change the designation of parking areas as necessary, appoint members of the Parking Appeals Committee (Hearing Board), and to adopt hearing and appeals procedures compatible with the regulations herein stated. Police officers of the University Police Department have the authority and power of peace officers for the protections of property under the jurisdiction of the Board of Trustees and the University, the prevention of trespass, the maintenance of peace and order, and the enforcement of regulations controlling vehicles on that property. All fees collected for parking permits and for parking permits and for sanctions shall be devoted to defraying the costs associated with registration and parking activities and costs associated with the establishment and maintenance of parking lots.
Responsibility
- It is the responsibility of each member of the university community to read, understand and abide by the regulations.
- All faculty, staff and students who operate or expect to operate a motor vehicle (whether privately owned, leased, or borrowed) on the University campus, either regularly or occasionally, must register with the University Police, Parking Services Division, and secure and display a valid parking permit while the vehicle is on the 宅男研究所 campus. This registration must occur before a vehicle is parked in any campus parking lot that requires a permit.
- The registered user/owner has sole responsibility for the parking permit and all citations with the following exception: if it is determined by the University Police Department that a person attending the University,receives a parking ticket on a vehicle to which the registered owner is not affiliated with the University, the operator of that vehicle will be responsible for all tickets issued to that vehicle.
- Seldom is the operator of an unregistered vehicle known. Establishing responsibility for parking violations involves the reasonable assumption that a student, faculty, or staff member with the same address as the registered owner of the vehicle is the operator of that vehicle that receives the parking citation(s). When two or more students, faculty, or staff members reside at the same address, the assumption is that one or more are operators.
- The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with the vehicle operator. Lack of parking spaces is not justification for illegal parking.
