Vehicle Registration and Parking

All students may have and drive a properly licensed vehicle while attending William Woods University. Students must read, understand, and agree to the general regulations before they can register a vehicle and be issued a permit. General regulations are, in part, as follows:

Vehicles brought to campus at the beginning of any term must be officially registered within the first week of that term. The online registration form is located under the Student Life tab in Owlnet. The registration fee is $125 per year. The paid registration fee does not ensure a specified parking location, but rather registers the vehicle for a student’s use while at the University. The official registration permit must be affixed to the vehicle. Replacement and second vehicle permits are issued for $5 from the University Information Center located in the McNutt Campus Center.
Vehicles brought on campus during the course of the term must be registered online within a 24- hour period. A fine will be assessed when a student fails to register a vehicle. Motor vehicle insurance must be maintained on the vehicle. The University cannot assume any liability for a student’s vehicle.
William Woods University will remove from campus, at the expense of the owner, any vehicle deemed abandoned.
When requested, students must identify themselves to safety officers and must stop their vehicles if safety personnel signal them to stop.
Student vehicles are to be parked within any white-lined parking space. Driving/parking on the grass is prohibited. Driving on the Nettleship Sculpture or pedestrian walkway in front of Dulany Auditorium and the Gladys Woods Kemper Center for the Arts may result in fines or restitution for damages.
Temporary parking permits (one per semester; two-week maximum) are available from the University Information Center at no cost.
Missouri State law requires all operators and passengers of motorcycles and mopeds to wear helmets while the vehicle is in use.
Any student issued a ticket has the right to appeal. An appeal does not automatically result in a voided ticket. Ticket appeal forms are available at the Cashier’s Window or can be found on the William Woods website under Financial Aid. The appeal process must begin within 48 hours after receiving the ticket.
The overall speed limit on campus is 20 miles per hour. Those exceeding the speed limit or driving in an improper manner are subject to fine or loss of driving privileges.
Students may keep bicycles on campus. The University assumes no responsibility for theft or vandalism.
