Emergency Vehicle Removal

Any student, faculty or staff member, or any other person leaving campus for an extended period of time (i.e. a sports team trip, a family emergency, winter recess, a long weekend, vacation, etc.) who intends to leave their vehicle on campus should be aware of our emergency vehicle removal procedures.

These procedures dictate that at times we must clear certain areas, such as but not limited to parking lots and roadways.

Abandoned vehicles, vehicles left behind by those leaving campus, disabled vehicles and even legally parked vehicles may need to be removed under circumstances beyond our control.

  • snow removal
  • construction needs
  • parking lot closures
  • repair problems
  • emergencies

Will dictate the removal of these vehicles.

In all instances an attempt to notify vehicle owners will be made by on-campus means.  This may include e-mail, public announcements, flyers and telephone messages when practical.

When leaving campus, vehicles left behind must be moved to the "Long Term Parking Areas".

These areas are designated as

  • Lot B (rear of Cushing Village)

The towing of vehicles for these emergencies is infrequent but all persons should be aware that these situations could occur.

The College accepts no responsibility for fees charged by towing companies for vehicle removal. All vehicles parked on campus are parked at the owner/ operators risk.
