Students are required to follow the university bicycle traffic regulations and to park and lock their bicycles in the bicycle racks provided on campus. Bicycles may not be taken inside any university building except those authorized by the Department of Public Safety. Students living in the residence halls may rent locker space to store their bicycles or may take them to their rooms if their roommates agree. Locks, chains, and cables deter theft of bicycles, so students should buy the best they can afford. Bicycles should always be locked to a bike rack, and both wheels and the frame should be anchored with a chain, cable, or U-lock.
Insurance is a good investment.
Most homeowner s and renter s insurance policies will cover the bicycle and lock. Roller skates, roller blades, and skateboards are permitted on most campus sidewalks, but they are not allowed on or in university structures or on planted, grassy, or seeded areas. Students receive a mailing from the Parking Division prior to fall semester explaining the parking regulations on campus. There is no charge for students to register a vehicle with the university. However, there is a charge for parking permits for students living in the residence halls, and there is designated student parking for each residence hall complex.
