Parking Fees & Traffic Citations

Vehicle Registration

A Denison vehicle registration sticker is not only a parking permit, but is required for roadway use of a motor vehicle. Cars, motorcycles, mopeds, vans, trucks, and all other motorized vehicles must be registered with the University through Student Accounts. A registration permit must be placed on the vehicle within 72 hours of physically locating the vehicle on campus or a "No Visible Registration" citation will be issued. Registration permits must be visibly displayed on the driver's side of the rear bumper (or in the bottom corner of the driver's side rear window) of the car or on the fender of the motorcycle or moped. Parking permits remain the property of Denison University.

The 2011-2012 Vehicle Registration fee is $75. A $10 charge will be assessed for replacement permits (lost, stolen or upgraded) issued during the year. You must present a valid state vehicle registration form to register your vehicle. A student may only have one vehicle registered and on campus at any given time.

If you are mailing your registration, please attach a copy of your state vehicle registration form (please check expiration date to make sure it is current). Please note that Vehicle Registration permits WILL NOT BE MAILED, but will need to be picked up in person immediately upon arrival to campus beginning one week before the first day of classes each semester. If you change vehicles during the academic year or if you change license plates, you must promptly update your vehicle information in Student Accounts (including a copy of the new vehicle's state vehicle registration form) and obtain a new permit if necessary ($10 fee).

If you bring a car to campus mid-year you must register it at Student Accounts the next day that the office is open (M-F 8:30am — 4:30pm, closed 12:00am — 1:00pm on Thursdays). Meanwhile, park where your class is allowed to park. If you get a parking ticket, bring it to Student Accounts when you come in to register. Students should never park in visitor parking.

 

Temporary Registration

A student may purchase a temporary parking permit at a cost of $10 (limited to a maximum length of 21 days). Vehicles with a temporary parking permit are to be parked in the green parking area (First Year parking).

 

Visitor Parking

Visitors are people who do not attend Denison and do not work at Denison. Visitors to university offices may park in visitor spaces at Swasey or in P-1 of the parking garage. Friends visiting students should park in the visitor spaces at Mitchell Athletic Center or in the first-year parking lot at Ebaugh Pond. If you have overnight visitors you should contact Security (by dialing 0) for instructions. This will prevent your guest getting a ticket.

 

Traffic & Parking Citations

If a student receives a citation, he/she has 7 days from the date the citation was issued to file an appeal. Fines will be posted to the student's account immediately. In the event of an overturned citation, the student account will be adjusted accordingly. Traffic and Parking Citation Appeal Forms may be picked up outside of Student Accounts, or print one by clicking here [pdf]. Return completed Appeal Forms to the box outside Student Accounts on the first floor of Doane Administration Building.

Students receiving 5 or more citations in an academic year will lose their parking privileges for the remainder of the academic year.
