Traffic Regulations / Accidents

Authority
Lee College has the authority to enforce certain traffic regulations by the Private Institutions of Higher Education Act, Section 1, Chapter 600.003, effective September 1, 1997.

Parking Permits
It is the responsibility of each student to obtain a vehicle parking permit for use of any vehicle operated on campus. The permit is obtained at the Security table during on-campus registration. After registration, parking permits are available at the Security Office in Rundell Hall. Stolen or lost permits should be reported immediately. Students are responsible for any tickets accrued until a replacement permit is issued. Replacement permits are $2.

Accessible Parking
Accessible (handicapped) parking spaces are available throughout the campus. To prevent abuse, students or staff with a disability will need to display both the state issued handicapped parking permit and a special Lee College permit. To be eligible for this permit, the student must first obtain a special permission form through Disability Services in the Counseling Center. Proof of disability may be required. This form is then presented to the Security Office in Rundell Hall to obtain the accessible parking tag.

Parking
Students must park in designated student parking. Vehicle location is the responsibility of the owner. Violations will be given for:

Illegally parking in faculty or handicap
Exceeding campus speed limits
Backing into diagonal spaces
Parking on sidewalks or lawns
Double parking

The following violations are also subject to being towed:

Illegally parking in reserved or handicap spaces
