(a) No person shall drive a vehicle on campus at a speed greater than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential hazards then existing, but in no event shall a person drive a vehicle in excess of 25 miles per hour or a posted lower speed limit.

(b) No person shall park a vehicle on the premises of the Maritime College in such a manner as to interfere with the use of a fire hydrant, fire lane or other emergency zone, create any other hazard or unreasonably interfere with the free and proper use of a roadway, trash dumpster, loading zone, service area, crosswalk or pedestrian way. There is no overnight parking allowed on campus unless authorized by permit classification, conducting official college business on campus or in official travel status for Maritime College. Overnight begins at midnight. Parking is restricted to designated areas and prohibited on all campus roadways whenever a snow emergency is declared by the vice president of operations, director of facilities, or the chief of police. Temporary stops to pick up or discharge passengers are permitted, providing the driver remains in the vehicle. All faculty, staff, students and visitors must park in assigned areas. Visitors will be directed to a parking area by the officer at University Police. The campus president may reserve and assign temporary parking spaces for designated faculty and staff members having official business. The chief of police may, in order to meet the parking demands of a specific college function, authorize parking in areas other than the aforementioned ones; providing, however, that such parking in no way impedes the ingress and egress of emergency vehicles.

(c) All members of the Maritime College community authorized and desiring to operate and park vehicles on the college grounds shall register their vehicles at the University Police Department located at the main entrance to the campus. All commuter students and junior and senior residential students desiring to operate and park vehicles on the college grounds must register their vehicles at the University Police Department and pay a registration fee as approved by the chancellor or designee. Students must re-register their vehicles at the commencement of each fall semester. All outstanding parking violations must be paid at the student accounts office within 10 business days of violation. Student registration expires immediately upon disenrollment from the college. All other registrations expire when employment is terminated.

(d) All registered vehicles must have affixed to the passenger side rear window a sticker issued to the registrant by the University Police Department. When the configuration of the vehicle prohibits display of the sticker on the window, a display location will be designated by the chief of police. This sticker must be replaced when it becomes unreadable or removed if the vehicle is transferred to another owner. Visitor/guest and temporary passes must be displayed on the driver's side, dashboard of the vehicle, with the effective date facing out.

(e) A fee as approved by the chancellor or designee will be charged for student vehicular registration payable at the student accounts office at the commencement of each fall semester. Fee is non-refundable.

(f) Parking fees as approved by the chancellor, or designee, shall be charged for motor vehicles parked within designated lots, consistent with applicable collective bargaining agreements and in accordance with guidelines established by the chancellor or designee. Such guidelines shall provide that the determination of the amount of the fee be substantially based on an analysis of the costs attributable to the operation and maintenance of the parking facilities owned and operated by the Maritime College. Fee is non-refundable.

(g) A fee as approved by the chancellor or designee will be charged for vehicle registration for summer sea term and summer ashore parking and for special events. Fee is non-refundable.
