the time of the violation unless a lost or stolen report has been completed at the Vincennes University Police

not considered a valid reason for violation of regulations. A parking permit does not guarantee the holder a parking
space, but only the opportunity to park within an assigned area.

Police at the time of issuance. Always lock your vehicle and remove any valuables.

cars will be towed.

Yellow markings designate no parking zones. Parking is not allowed at any loading or service vehicle dock or zones,
entrance to buildings, cross walks, or emergency zone. At the entrance to each lot, a sign is posted to designate the
type of parking permitted in the lot. Some lots are also marked with color striping, matching the permit color, to
further designate proper parking status.
17.
Motorbikes, motorcycles, and motor scooters are subject to all regulations and must be operated only on streets
designated for normal automobile use.
