Having an automobile on campus is a privilege available to all Greenville College students.

Greenville College provides parking for students, faculty, and staff in a variety of campus lots. All students who bring a car to campus must purchase a parking permit sticker and display it on the driver side rear bumper or rear window. Failure to properly display parking tags may result in ticketing. Since Greenville College is located within a residential community with limited but adequate parking resources, it is expected that all college student owned vehicles be parked on college property. Failure to park your vehicle on college owned property may result in tickets.

Permits are valid for one year (September 1st to August 31st) and may be purchased for twenty-five dollars ($25) from CSO during regular business hours. To receive a permit, one must complete a registration form and submit proof of auto insurance. The State of Illinois requires all motorists to have liability insurance, including a minimum coverage of five-thousand dollars ($5,000) property damage and twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) public liability.

Temporary parking permits are available for up to seven days and may be obtained in the CSO office in Lower Armington .

A parking permit is valid only for the person and vehicle to which it is registered. Removing, tampering, or altering parking permits may result in disciplinary action including suspension of parking privileges. You may not give or sell your parking permit to anyone. Any attempt to provide false or misleading information to gain a parking permit other than the one you are eligible for may result in disciplinary action including suspension or reduction of parking privileges.

Abandoned vehicles may be subject to towing at the owner's expense unless special arrangements have been made with the Assistant to the Dean of Students or the Dean of Students. Vehicles are considered abandoned if they are not registered with the college and lack vehicle registration information.

Trailers, boats and/or mobile campers may not park on campus without prior permission from the Assistant to the Dean of Students or the Dean of Students.

WE URGE STUDENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE COVERAGE THROUGH THEIR PARENT'S HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE TO BUY PERSONAL PROPERTY INSURANCE.
