Frequently Asked Questions
-
May I park in the fire lane or curb? I will just be a few minutes.
The fire lanes are for the exclusive use of emergency vehicles, and according to the California Vehicle Code (CVC), you may not stop there. Campus Safety officers may issue parking citations for fire lane violations.
-
If no one is using the disabled parking space and there is no other open space near my building, may I park there?
The disabled parking spaces are for people with disabilities who have an approved disability placard prominently displayed. The disabled parking spaces include the blue striped area next to the space with the disabled icon, and in front of the ramp.
-
If I am locked out of my room, whom do I call to let me in?
Call your floor Resident Assistant first. If your RA is not available you may try your Resident Director or Campus Safety. If Campus Safety is required to open your door, a $5.00 fee will be charged. Have your Simpson ID card or some proof of your residency available. Disciplinary action may be taken for trying to access another student's room.
-
May I have two vehicles on campus?
Due to the limited number of parking spaces near the residence facilities, students may be limited to register only one vehicle. This will be enforced at the discretion of the Campus Safety department. Commuter students may register more than one vehicle; however, only one vehicle may be parked on campus at a time.
-
If I live off campus, do I need to register my vehicle?
All vehicles driven on campus must be registered through Campus Safety.
-
If I am a commuter student, am I required to have a parking permit to park on campus?
All vehicles parking on campus must display a Simpson University parking permit.
-
Where can visitors park, and where can I obtain a visitor parking permit?
Visitors may park in spaces labeled for visitor parking, or where directed by campus safety officers. Visitor parking permits may be obtained from the Owen Student Services receptionist on the first floor or from the department being visited.
