VEHICLE AND PARKING POLICY
Parking Regulations
1. Introduction
This document contains general information about Kemptville Campus's parking and traffic system. Its
purpose is to acquaint individuals with the expectations, rules, and regulations to ensure a safe environment
for all students, staff and guests to Campus. Your compliance is encouraged and expected since the ultimate
success of the parking system depends upon mutual consideration, courtesy and cooperation from all.
The primary purpose of the parking and traffic system is to provide a comprehensive service that effectively
meets the operational requirements of the Campus. It also accommodates the parking needs of the faculty,
staff, students and visitors in a fair and reasonable manner.
While most people will comply with these regulations, those found in violation will be subject to penalties
reflecting the severity of the infraction.
Please drive safely, park courteously and enjoy your time at Kemptville Campus.
2. General Information
Kemptville Campus reserves the right to control parking and traffic on the Campus, to prohibit access to any
vehicle and to restrict parking privileges at any time in any parking lot, for emergencies, construction or other
purposes. In such instances every attempt will be made to provide alternate parking and, where possible,
advance notice will be given whenever possible.
If a parking lot is full due to a special event, please park in another parking lot. You will be provided a grace
period of 6 hours after the end of the event to relocate your vehicle to one of the parking lots permitted with
the your parking permit. Parking on the grass or failing to relocate your vehicle by the end of the grace period
will lead to a fine and possible towing of your vehicle.

Areas and as such are closed to motorized vehicular traffic except for vehicles authorized by Physical Plant
Services - Campus Security.
