A. REASON FOR POLICY
Below are all parking policies in effect and approved by the Xavier University Parking Committee. It is
an individual’s responsibility to understand and comply with all policies published while operating a
motor vehicle on campus. Lack of available parking spaces and failure to comply with these policies are
not a valid excuse for violation of any and all parking regulations.
Parking Services is committed to service of the entire Xavier University community of students, faculty
and staff. It is the mission of Parking Services to provide everyone with a safe, convenient and enjoyable
experience regarding their parking needs on campus. We are committed, in every instance, to a fair and
equitable process that goes along with the mission and values of the University as it relates to the
enforcement of these approved policies.
This document supersedes any previously approved and distributed document regarding Parking Rules
and Regulations or Policy in its entirety. These policies are subject to change based on any decisions
approved by a majority vote of University Parking Committee. The Exhibits herein contain information
that may vary from year to year and are subject to change without the policy itself necessarily being
modified.
B. POLICY
1. All vehicles (including visitors) parked on campus must display a current parking permit.
Vehicles may be parked only in designated lined spaces and not otherwise reserved spaces.
Directional arrows, parking signs and all traffic laws must be observed. Vehicles parked without
permits in campus parking lots are subject to fines, booting and/or towing.
2. Students, Adjunct Faculty and Full-time Faculty and Staff parking permits: All permits are to be
ordered online at xavier.edu/parking (hereafter referred to as “Parking Website”). The vehicle
make, year, model and license plate numbers are required to complete the application. Once a
permit is ordered online, it is requested that you display your temporary parking permit that is
printable at the time of order. Your permit order will be fulfilled and delivered to the mailing
address provided within 7-10 business days. Students and Adjunct Faculty Permits are valid for
the academic year in which they are ordered. Full-time faculty and staff permits are valid on a
rotating three year cycle. Permit expiration dates are printed on the front of the permit. For a
complete list of available parking permits please refer to the Parking Website, or Exhibit B
“Current Year Parking Permits Pricing Schedule”
3. All parking permits must be affixed to the passenger side of the front windshield, lower righthand corner. Permits are transferrable and should be affixed to the vehicle you are currently
driving. A lost or stolen permit must be reported to the Office of Auxiliary Services or Xavier
Police. All replacement permits are subject to a replacement fee (Please refer to Parking Website
for current rates). Permit owners are responsible for violations charged to his/her permit at all
times. Please be sure to register all vehicles you may use on campus prior to the transferring of
the permit from your primary vehicle to an alternative vehicle. One Permit, per person.
4. Contract and Temporary employee permits are issued over the counter in the Office of Auxiliary
Services. All requests must be pre-approved by contracting department and will be issued for the
contracted term. Lot availability will be based on the nature and scope of the individual’s work.
The vehicle make, year, model and license plate number as well as personal contact information
are required.
5. Visitors: A valid visitor permit is required for parking in a Xavier University lot. Permit must be
clearly displayed on the dashboard of vehicle. A visitor permit must be obtained in person at the
Welcome Booth (off of University Drive), Office of Auxiliary Services (Musketeer Mezzanine)
in Fenwick Place, or Flynn Hall (Xavier Police), unless otherwise approved in writing by Parking
Services.
6. Meters: There are a limited amount of free 15 minute meters on campus. To support campus and
external community, these are available to campus visitors without the need for a visitor permit.
The timer on the meter must be activated when parked. Meter timer is preset for 15 minute
intervals. Any vehicle parked in an expired meter is subject to citation.
7. During major events on campus (i.e. basketball games, concerts, etc.) all permit holders may be
directed to park in alternate on campus parking lots. Vehicles parked in reserved/restricted lots
during major events are subject to tow at the owner’s expense. For additional information
regarding event related parking restrictions and alternative parking recommendations please visit
the Parking Website, or refer to Exhibit A “Lot Assignments/Available Parking by Permit Type”.
8. Vehicles parked on campus or entering University property are subject to inspection by the
Xavier Police. This is a necessary measure to insure public safety on Xavier’s campus.

and/or their contents while on University property. Vehicles of any kind on Xavier University
2
property are to be considered parked at their own risk.
10. Motorcycles: For safety reasons, motorcycles/scooters should only be operated on the streets and
not operated on sidewalks or pedestrian paths. All vehicles including 2-3 wheeled motorcycles
and scooters must display a valid parking permit. These vehicles may park in designated
motorcycle spaces located in the C-2 lot and may also occupy any designated (and not otherwise
reserved) lined automobile spaces. Motorcycle/scooter drivers are responsible for observing the
same regulations as those governing automobiles and must have a valid motorcycle/scooter
endorsement. Motorcycles may not park at bicycle racks, on sidewalks, inside or adjacent to
campus buildings, or landscaped areas. Permit and license plate must be visible at all times.
11. Parking permits remain the property of Xavier University and shall be surrendered upon demand.

lots. University Station residents must acquire an official Xavier University parking permit to
park their vehicle in University managed lots.

contract staff, etc.) Fines must be paid within 10 calendar days of the violation or they will
automatically be charged to an individual’s bursar account. Unpaid or habitual violations may
result in increased fines, booting, towing and/or loss of parking privileges. For current list of
violation types and fine schedule, please refer to Parking Website or Exhibit C “ Parking
Violation Types and Fine Schedule”.

registration or nonfunctional) for more than 14 hours are subject to be towed at owners expense.
16. A handicap placard is required for special parking due to health problems. This placard must be
obtained through a state regulatory agency (i.e. Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles). Once obtained
and displayed on the vehicle, the individual has the right to park in any designated handicap space
in conjunction with a current Xavier parking permit or visitor permit.
17. All parking citation fines are to be paid on the Parking Website. In addition, students are
responsible for unpaid parking violations incurred by their guests. Parking fines are applied to the
student’s bursar bill if not paid within 10 calendar days of the date of issue. If student fines are
not paid, final grades or transcripts will not be released and the student will not be permitted to
register for classes in an upcoming semester. A processing fee of $10.00 may be added to any
unpaid parking fines.

18. Employees are responsible for the payment of fines incurred while parking on University
property. If fines are not paid within ten (10) calendar days of the date of issue, the University has
the right to add the amount of the fine plus a $10.00 processing fee to an employee’s bursar
account. Further on campus notifications and actions may be taken by an employee’s direct
supervisor or department chair if an individual is unable to be reached for payment.

within 7 calendar days of when the violation was received, after that time period, appeals will
not be accepted. Payment is not due on the citation until the appeal decision is rendered by the
panel, which may take up to 10-14 business days.
20. The parking appeals panel is made up of current students, faculty and staff . No decisions are
made by the Office of Auxiliary Services or Xavier Police. Those offices are only involved to
reaffirm the University’s policies. Repeat or unpaid parking infractions will play a part in a
decision. The decisions made by the parking appeals panel are FINAL. Xavier University’s
