Office of Campus Safety and Security
Parking Regulations 2024-2025

Important Notice

North Greenville University Office of Campus Safety and Security reserves the right to change or add to these Parking Regulations to better accommodate parking and traffic for students, faculty, staff, and visitors at any time. Proper e-mail and other notices will be sent before these changes take effect.

These regulations are applicable to all members of the campus community, including students, faculty, staff, vendors, and visitors.

Bringing a vehicle onto University property is a privilege. The University reserves the right to revoke any permit, in its sole discretion, for disciplinary and/or a safety concern. Resident students are expected to park near their dorm and walk to their desired location.

Purchasing a Parking Permit

Everyone is required to clearly display a valid NGU parking permit, in the correct placement, on their vehicle while parked or otherwise stationary for an extended amount of time on any property owned and operated by North Greenville University.

  • Faculty and Staff

    Permits are available for faculty and staff members at no charge at the Campus Safety and Security office. Faculty and staff members may have as many permits as needed.

  • Students
    South Carolina license plate with NU on it.

    Students are required to purchase a parking permit each school year. Permits are valid from August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2025. Currently, single-semester or half-year permits are not available.

    Traditional Parking Permits cost $80.00. Students who wish to have two cars on campus may do so but must purchase a second permit online at a cost of $10.00.

    Graduate Student permits are available at no cost. Students who wish to have two cars on campus may do so but must purchase a second permit online at a cost of $10.00.

    A student must purchase his or her permit with a credit or debit card on our permit sales page. No cash or check payments will be accepted in the Office of Campus Safety and Security.

    If a student serves as a Student Leadership Team (SLT), they are entitled to one free permit. If an SLT student wishes to have two vehicles on campus, a second permit may be purchased for $10.00.

    Student vehicles with a North Greenville “NU” vanity license plate (see picture) are required to register their vehicles with Campus Security and are entitled to receive one free parking permit per academic year. By purchasing or accepting a permit, a student is acknowledging that he or she understands and agrees to abide by the parking regulations. Furthermore, he or she agrees that failure to obey these regulations will result in a ticket for which he or she will be financially responsible.

    In the event a student is unable to purchase a permit due to financial difficulties, a student may bring documentation of that difficulty to the Campus Security Office to make other arrangements for purchasing a parking permit. All requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

    If a student does not possess a vehicle that will be kept on campus, the student is not required to purchase a parking permit. If a student has a vehicle that will be on campus and chooses not to purchase the required permit, they are subjected to all fines/penalties issued by the Campus Safety and Security Office.

  • Motorcycle Permits

    Individuals who wish to have a street legal motorcycle, street legal dirt bike, street legal moped, or street legal motorized scooter on campus must purchase a motorcycle permit. Motorcycle permits follow the same pricing structure as standard vehicle permits. Motorcycles must obey all parking and traffic regulations and should be parked in the student’s designated area. Minibikes, motorcycles, dirt bikes, mopeds, or motorized scooters that are not valid state registered vehicles with a license plate, side mirrors, turn signal, etc., are not permitted on any property owned by North Greenville University. Electric scooters and electric bicycles are not required to purchase a permit; however, they must follow all NGU parking regulations and may only be operated on campus roads.

  • Family Permits and Discounts

    If two students are members of the same household, they must purchase one $80.00 permit and the other may purchase their permit for $10.00. Students wishing to purchase two permits this way must be siblings residing in the same home or married students. Any student under 18 years of age at the time of enrollment must discuss the parking regulations with a parent or guardian at the time a permit is purchased.

  • Married Housing and Permits

    Married students living on campus must purchase “Married Housing” permits. They may use the family discount of purchasing one permit at $80.00 and the second permit at $10.00.

    Married students living off campus must purchase regular commuter permits. They may use the family discount of purchasing one permit at $80.00 and the second permit at $10.00.

  • Temporary Medical Permits

    NGU Medical permits are issued to students with a temporary or permanent medical condition who do not otherwise qualify for a state-mandated handicapped parking permit, plaque, or license plate (such as a broken foot, a temporary illness, etc.). Students wishing to obtain a medical permit must file their need for accommodation with Dr.Brad Gregory’s office located in A/V Wood (Note: a medical permit does not negate the need for a current year permit.) Students with a medical permit may legally park in any yellow or white-lined space. Individuals with an NGU-issued temporary medical permit may not park in the state-mandated handicapped parking spaces on or off campus.

  • Dual Enrollment Students

    Dual Enrollment Students are charged a $15.00 fee which is added to their bill by the registrar’s office each semester. Dual Enrollment Students must register their vehicle online on our permit sales page.

Where Can I Park?

Parking Spaces

Below is a list of the different colored lines you will see on campus and what they mean.

  • White Lines: Student Parking

    Any student may park in spaces with white lines so long as it is within a lot they are permitted to park.

  • Yellow Lines: Faculty/Staff parking

    Students are not allowed to park in yellow spaces Monday-Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 PM. Students may park in yellow spaces after business hours during the week or on weekends. If a student chooses to park in a yellow spot after business hours, their vehicle must be relocated to its proper colored space before 7:00 a.m. on the next business day.

    If a student has been granted a medical permit, they may park in a yellow spot during the length of time the permit is valid for. After the permit expires, the student will no longer be allowed to park in yellow spaces.

    Handicap Citations may not be waived or reduced in cost.

  • Red Lines/Curbs: Fire lanes, loading zones, and no-parking zones.

Where Can’t I Park?

Campus Safety and Security realizes it is difficult to find parking on occasion. Please know that your inability to find a legal space in your parking area does not constitute an excuse for parking illegally.

A vehicle left standing for longer than 5 minutes is considered parked, regardless if it is attended or not.

You are subject to being issued an NGU Citation or towed if you park in the following areas:

 

Campus Visitors—Making Our Guests Welcome

Faculty, staff, and students who wish to have a visitor on campus are responsible for assisting that guest in finding appropriate parking and securing an appropriate parking pass for his or her visitor’s vehicle.

Day Visitors

Short-term visitors/day visitors (those who will not be staying on campus overnight) should come by the Campus Security office and ask for a temporary parking pass. Visitors may park in any lot designated for Commuters or in front of the residence hall in which the student they are visiting resides. Visitors may park in the designated guest spaces in front of Turner Chapel without a temporary parking pass.

Overnight and Extended Visitors

Overnight visitors should obtain and fill out the Campus Guest Request form from the Office of Resident Life. On this form, you will find a section labeled “Guest Vehicle Copy.” After receiving approval from The Office of Campus Security, this portion should be placed on the driver’s side dash of the guest’s vehicle and will serve as his or her parking pass while on campus. Guests should park in the Residence Hall area where they are staying. Please ensure your guest has approval from Brittany Hendrix or Tripp Young for any guests staying overnight. These passes are valid for 48 hours/two days.

Tickets Issued by the NGU Office of Campus Safety and Security

The North Greenville University Campus Security Department is authorized to enforce both campus policy and state law on the property of the University (South Carolina Code Ch. 18, Title 40,). The Office of Campus Safety and Security is authorized to issue both “Campus Tickets” and South Carolina Uniform Traffic Tickets (“blue tickets”).

Permit Regulations

All parking permits (except temporary, or temporary medical permits) must be adhered to the front and rear window of the vehicle for which it is registered on the bottom left-hand side. Each registered vehicle will receive two (2) permits to be placed on the vehicle. Please see the illustration below.

Put one permit on the front driver’s side of the window and one on the back driver’s side of the window.

vehiclevehicle

Faculty/Staff receive a single permit which should be adhered to the front window on the driver’s side at the bottom (see above illustration). Note that Faculty/Staff permits are “static cling” permits that adhere to the inside of the windshield.

When a student’s permit order is processed, the student will receive an email confirmation. Within that email there will be a link to print a temporary parking permit. Students should immediately print this temporary permit and place it on the driver’s side dash facing outwards. This will be used in place of a permit until the actual permit arrives by mail at the address chosen by the student. If the student cannot print their temporary pass, the student needs to contact Campus Safety and Security.

NOTE: There is a $10.00 replacement fee for lost permits.

If a student has a leased vehicle and is not allowed to place stickers on it, they should contact Campus Security for advice on alternative parking permit placement.

  • From time to time, it is necessary that a lot or portion of a lot be closed due to special events, visitors on campus, construction, weather-related issues, or other situations. If certain spaces or sections of a lot or lots are unavailable, they will be marked with traffic cones. Do not remove cones for any reason, including parking in a spot where a cone is or to drive through an area a cone is blocking. Doing so will result in a citation.

  • Appeals

    Drivers who feel they were inaccurately ticketed may submit a written appeal online within 5 calendar days of issuance here. The ticket will be reviewed by an NGU Office of Campus Safety and Security official who will determine the citation’s disposition. Any citation appealed (except handicap or fire lane violations) may be presented in traffic court by request within 5 calendar days of the officer’s citation disposition. Traffic Court will then be scheduled within 3 weeks of the driver’s request with specific instructions for the proceeding.

  • Penalties for Failure to Pay Tickets

    Students who are delinquent in paying 3 or more traffic fines will not be permitted to represent the university in any official or assigned capacity. This includes athletics, organizations, choral or band groups, and club participation.

Common Issues with Permits

  • I ordered my permit, but it never came. What should I do?

    Please allow up to 4 weeks from your order date for your permit to arrive by mail. If you have not received your permit within that 4-week window, check that you received an email confirming your order. If you did not receive a confirmation email but believe the order went through, call Campus Security so that we can check our records. If your order is processed, but your permit has not been received, you will be issued a new permit.

  • What if the permit I received does not match my housing assignment or my housing assignment changes?

    Sometimes, computer errors, changes to housing assignments, or other circumstances result in a student being issued the wrong permit type. If you receive a permit different than that listed above for your residence assignment, please come by the Campus Security office, and bring the errant permit. There is no charge for permit reassignment as long as the previous permits have been turned into Campus Safety and Security.

  • I have a new vehicle. What do I need to do to get a new parking permit?

    If you have already purchased a parking permit for the current school year and get a new vehicle, there is no charge to transfer your existing permit to your new vehicle as long as the previous permits have been turned into the Campus Safety and Security Office. If the student no longer has the original permits, an additional permit must be purchased for $10. If you get a second vehicle and therefore need a second permit, you may purchase a second permit at any point in the semester for $10.00 by going online and visiting our permit sales page.

  • I am borrowing my parents’/grandparents’/friend’s/etc. car temporarily. What do I need to do?

    If you will be bringing a borrowed car onto campus on a temporary basis for any reason, you will need to come by the Campus Security office and register for a temporary parking pass. If you have already purchased a permit for the current year, temporary passes are available for any amount of time needed. If you do not normally have a car on campus and therefore have not purchased a permit but will have a car on campus for a temporary period, you will be issued a temporary parking pass. However, students who have not purchased a parking permit for the current year will not be issued temporary passes whose combined issuance exceeds two (2) calendar weeks in any academic year. If a student will have a vehicle on campus for more than two (2) weeks of the academic year, he or she must purchase a parking permit.
