Campus Parking Regulations

Student

The College must regulate vehicle parking in order to ensure respect for all members of the community. All Westminster students must register their motor vehicles on MyWC within seventy-two (72) hours of arrival on campus. Upon registration, students will pick up a parking permit from the Student Life Office, located upstairs in Hunter Activity Center.

The parking permit must be affixed and clearly visible on the inside bottom right of the front windshield. A $70 annual registration and parking fee, is charged to your student account, receivable at the rate of $35 per semester.

Westminster College students are responsible for knowing and observing the motor vehicle regulations for Westminster College. Between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, students are prohibited from parking in areas designated as Faculty/Staff Parking. Students will be held responsible for observing campus parking regulations and any parking fines regardless of who may drive the vehicle. Vehicles illegally parked or abandoned may be towed at the owner’s expense. If a student receives more than three (3) tickets in a semester, the vehicle is subject to towing at the owner’s expense.

A student wanting to appeal a motor vehicle infraction should log into MyWC and complete the Parking Appeal Form. Appeals made later than 10 days after the violation will not be considered. The schedule of fines for parking violations:

Fees for parking violations can be paid immediately in the Westminster Business Office between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, or students can pay online 10 days after the violation.

The city of Fulton requires motor vehicles parked on public streets to be moved at least every 72 hours. While this is usually not a problem during the semester, students should not leave their vehicles on public streets during vacation periods. Students needing to park vehicles during a vacation period should contact the Security Office. If a student does not have a vehicle in Fulton, he/she may fill out a parking fee waiver form no later than the 7th day after classes start (census date). The form is located on MyWC under the student tab then under e-forms.
