Student Handbook 2017-2018

Permit and Decal Distribution

Faculty and staff parking decals may be obtained in the campus safety office at any time of day, 24 /7.

Student parking decals may be obtained during student registration upon proof of a valid vehicle registration, Keuka College ID, and payment of $50/year. Thereafter, payment must be made to the cashier’s office first, and then the decal may be obtained from the campus safety office upon presentation of the cashier’s receipt, proof of a valid vehicle registration, and Keuka College ID. Student parking is not allowed in visitor spaces on campus at any time.

Official visitor permits for persons on official College business are available through administrative services (located in Ball Hall) or the campus safety office. Official visitor permits are valid in visitor spaces or faculty/staff designated lots and must be displayed on the vehicle’s rear view mirror so that it is visible from outside of the vehicle.

Temporary parking permits for students, faculty, and staff are available through the campus safety office and intended for short-term use while the person’s Keuka College-registered vehicle is unavailable. Temporary parking permits are subject to the same restrictions as the person’s parking status on campus. Temporary parking permits must be displayed on the vehicle’s rear view mirror so that it is visible from outside of the vehicle.

By law, Keuka College does not issue handicap parking permits. A state handicap permit or registration is valid in any appropriate (student in student lot, faculty/staff in a faculty/staff lot) handicap-designated space on campus. If a handicap-designated space is unavailable, parking in the closest available appropriate space is permitted.

Guest parking permits for relatives and guests of students may be obtained from the campus safety office any time and allow for parking in V-lot only 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday (other times V or C-lots only). Guest permits are not valid in visitor parking spaces anywhere on campus.

Guest permits are issued for a maximum of three days in a 10-day period per guest. (Exceptions to this policy must be approved by the director of residence life.) The student host is responsible for all of his or her guest’s violations and fine assessments. The guest permit must be displayed on the vehicle’s rear view mirror so that it is visible from outside of the vehicle.

  • Parking permits are color-coded so that the decal color corresponds with the designated parking lot signs.
  • Decals for vehicles brought on campus after February 1 may be purchased at a prorated fee of $25.
  • Permits must be affixed to the vehicle immediately and placed on the outside of the rear-most side window on the driver’s side.
  • Any lost decal must be replaced with the purchase of a new decal.
  • Decals will be replaced at no charge for change of vehicle, replacement of window, change of status, etc. The old decal (or pieces) must be submitted with an application for a replacement decal. (To remove an old decal, tape over it and then scrape it with a single edge razor or window scraper.)
  • Affixing a decal or using a permit in any vehicle other than the one to which it was issued is a violation and will result in a fine and/or revocation of parking privileges.
  • Note: There is no overnight parking on Lake Ave. and North Ave. Parking on Lake and North avenues is enforced by New York State Police and the Yates County Sheriff’s Department.
