VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PARKING (Reviewed by UA-PTC on 4-24-18
				)
Every person who owns or operates a motorized vehicle on campus
				is required to register that vehicle and display the parking decal as
				instructed.
PARKING AND TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
The Parking and Traffic Regulations have been designed to best
				utilize the facilities and maintain orderly parking and safe traffic flow.
				Please feel free to call upon the Office of Police and Public Safety if you
				need assistance.
In accordance with Act 328 of the 1967 General Assembly, the
				Board of Visitors of UA -Pulaski Technical College established the following
				rules and regulations for the registration and operation of motor vehicles on
				UA - Pulaski Technical College's facilities. These rules and regulations are
				binding on all members of the faculty, staff and student body.
REGISTRATION OF VEHICLES
All students, faculty and staff members who operate vehicles
				and park on any facility of or at events sponsored by UA - Pulaski Technical
				College are required to register their vehicle.
Registration for students is required before the first day of
				classes. Each student may register up to two vehicles by providing the make,
				model, year, color and license plate number of each vehicle. Registration at
				events sponsored by the college will be at the discretion of campus police
				officers and/or the college administration. Students and employees who operate
				vehicles on campus must be registered.
When a vehicle is sold and another vehicle is brought onto
				campus, the new vehicle must be registered and a new decal obtained. If a
				parking decal becomes unreadable, a new decal must be obtained. Parking decals
				are not transferable to other students, non-students, faculty or staff.
DISPLAY OF PARKING DECALS
Students may be issued up to two parking decals once they have
				completed the vehicle registration process. If a person chooses to register
				only one vehicle, they may only receive one decal. Students may obtain their
				decal, after they have registered their vehicle(s), from the Cashier's Window
				on the second floor of the Campus Center Building. The decal must be displayed
				on the outside, lower left of the driver's side back window.
All decals must be displayed clearly without obstruction of
				permit information. People who are permitted to park in donor spaces must also
				have a valid parking decal displayed on their vehicle to be considered in
				compliance with parking regulations.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND INFORMATION
Students and employees of UA-PTC may operate a motor vehicle on
				the college campus provided:
1. The
			 operator has a valid driver's license.
2. The vehicle being operated on the campus
			 meets state safety inspection standards, is legally licensed, and maintains
			 vehicle insurance as required by the state law.
3. The vehicle is registered using the UA-PTC
			 vehicle registration system.

			 The operator of the vehicle abides by the Parking and Traffic Regulations of
			 the college.
5. The operator of
			 the vehicle abides by motor vehicle and traffic laws as mandated by state law.
			 All campus vehicle accidents must be reported to the Office of Police and
			 Public Safety. It is understood that registration neither obligates the college
			 to set aside a parking space for every vehicle registered nor permits the
			 driver to violate parking and traffic regulations or Arkansas State Motor
			 Vehicle Laws. All vehicle operators will observe and obey the orders of the
			 Police and Public Safety officers in the performance of their duties. This
			 includes rendering and producing identification and proper registration when
			 requested. UA - Pulaski Technical College assumes no responsibility for any
			 vehicle or its contents. Please lock your vehicle. A traffic ticket or other
			 communication on the vehicle from the college is an official notice. A
			 recipient who does not comply with such communications will subject
			 himself/herself to disciplinary action and/or arrest when applicable.
The college reserves the right to restrict or deny the use of
				any vehicle on the college campus if an operator violates Parking and Traffic
				Regulations or otherwise abuses the privilege of operating and parking a
				vehicle on the UA-PTC campus.
Vehicles may be towed from the campus at the owner's expense
				when:
1. The vehicle is
			 parked on the UA-PTC campus after privileges have been revoked.
2. The vehicle is parked in a handicapped
			 space (without proper tag or misuse of a permit), is blocking or partially
			 blocking a street or driveway, is blocking or partially blocking sidewalks or
			 crosswalks, is parked on the lawn, or is otherwise hindering the flow of
			 traffic and/or parking.

			 Vehicles are abandoned and left parked in one location for a period of two
			 weeks.

			 communications from the college concerning improper parking of his/her vehicle.
5. The vehicle is deemed unsafe by
			 the Office of Police and Public Safety.
Students who owe a fee for a violation will have a hold placed
				on their student account, and they will be ineligible to receive an official
				transcript or register for classes until the obligation has been paid.
				Violation payments must be paid to the UA-PTC Cashier's Office, Monday through
				Friday, during normal business hours.
Student registered vehicles must park in all non-designated
				parking spaces. Faculty- and staff- registered vehicles may park in all spaces
				designated for faculty/staff parking when available.

				legally and properly displaying a Handicapped Parking Permit issued by the
				State of Arkansas. Vehicles using the handicapped parking space (regardless of
				permit) must be transporting the handicapped individual that the permit was
				issued to assist and are subject to applicable state and federal laws.
The college reserves and marks with signage a limited number of
				parking spaces near the entrance of the Administration building and/or in
				designated areas. Visitor spaces are restricted to visitors of UA-PTC, not
				registered students, faculty or staff. Traffic cones are occasionally used to
