Specific parking lots and spaces are designated for different permit types (e.g., student, staff, visitor). To avoid violations, please pay attention to the signage at the entrance of each lot to ensure you are parking in the appropriate area. Students must also refrain from parking in numbered staff spots at the risk of being fined or towed. Designated handicap-accessible parking spaces are available across campus for individuals with valid handicap permits. Unauthorized use of these spaces is strictly prohibited.

Bicycles must be parked in designated racks on campus that can be found on our campus map. They should not impede pedestrian pathways or access to buildings and bicycles left in unauthorized areas may be impounded.

Under certain circumstances, parking designations may change. The changes will be communicated through announcements and email. Regent University reserves the right to close a campus parking area temporarily.

Note: Posted signs replace any listed parking designation or map.

Regent University, CBN, and Founders Inn are not responsible for theft or damage to vehicles parked on the property or due to towing or clamping. Every effort should be made to secure all vehicles and belongings on campus. Theft and damage reports should be made to Campus Police at 757.226.2075.

Parking Services reserves the right to tow your vehicle if your vehicle is parked in an undesignated area, regardless of whether you have previously received a ticket.

The consequences of an offense may involve a ticket, wheel clamp, or tow. If a car is towed, the violator is responsible for the cost and the university violation fee. If you receive a clamp on your wheel or your vehicle is towed, call Campus Police at 757.226.2075.

Parking violations are $50 for first-time offenders and $75 for second-time offenders. Parking in a disabled spot without proper clearance will result in a $150 fine. All fines must be paid to the University Business Office within 30 days of the violation. If not paid within the designated time, the parking violation will increase by $25. For students who violate the policy, the fine will be applied to their student account.

After a parking violation has been served, any further violation will result in other action (such as a ticket, wheel clamp or tow). Regent University reserves the right to revoke parking privileges from any faculty, staff, or students who violate this policy and put a wheel clamp on or tow your vehicle if it is parked in an undesignated area, regardless of whether you have previously received a ticket or not.

Should a violation be issued while a vehicle is parked on campus after being approved by Parking Services, a Violation Appeal Form may be submitted within seven days of ticket issuance. Campus Police will review the Appeal Form and promptly notify the vehicle owner of its response. All decisions are final.
