Administrative Policy
In accordance with Ark. Code Ann. §
									25-17-307,
				the Board of Trustees of the University of Central Arkansas has established
				regulations for the operation and parking of motor vehicles on the UCA campus.
				These regulations apply to all faculty, staff, students, and others utilizing
				the land and streets owned or controlled by the University of Central Arkansas.
				The university police department is the jurisdictional law enforcement agency
				empowered under state statutes to enforce all parking and traffic regulations
				of the University of Central Arkansas and the State of Arkansas on all campus
				and university-controlled properties and those streets adjacent to campus
				properties.
a. Any
			 appropriately-licensed driver choosing to park an automobile on campus or on
			 other UCA-owned or -controlled properties may do so, provided a parking permit
			 is obtained and provided the driver understands that the permit neither
			 obligates the university to set aside a space for every vehicle nor allows the
			 driver to violate parking regulations.
b. The university reserves the right to
			 restrict the use of an automobile on university property if the owner or driver
			 has abused the privilege of operating a vehicle on campus.
c. The university assumes no responsibility
			 for a vehicle or its contents.
d.
			 Any motor vehicle parked on property owned or controlled by the university,
			 including metered parking, and under the control of a faculty member, staff
			 member or student must properly display a valid UCA parking permit.
e. Failure to pay fines will result in the
			 blocking of pre-registration or the withholding of transcripts or pay and
			 refund checks.
f. A ticketed
			 vehicle continuing in violation may be ticketed again as long as the violation
			 continues. Overtime parking will be ticketed every two hours.
g. An illegally parked, but non-ticketed
			 vehicle, is not an indication that the regulation being violated is no longer
			 in effect.
h. UCA police officers
			 may issue, as deemed appropriate by the issuing officer, a campus citation or
			 district court citation for violations of Arkansas State traffic laws and/or
			 UCA parking and traffic rules and regulations. District court citations cannot
			 be dismissed by the university, and failure to respond to these citations will
			 result in a warrant of arrest issued by the district court.
i. Occupants of residence halls are requested
			 not to drive to class, the cafeteria, or other campus areas between the hours
			 of 6:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
j. A traffic ticket or any other
			 communication from a university police officer is an official university
			 notice. Recipients who do not respond to such a communication face disciplinary
			 and/or legal action.
k. The
			 Arkansas Crime Information Center furnishes the university police department
			 with information on the owners of vehicles not displaying a permit that receive
			 tickets. These tickets are then issued to the faculty/staff member or student
			 whose home address matches those on the listing.
l. Use of any parking permit acquired through
			 fraudulent, or otherwise improper means, will be considered theft of services
			 from the University of Central Arkansas. Parking permits will be confiscated
			 and parking privileges may be taken away.
