ILLEGAL PARKING IN THE ADMISSION OFFICE VISITOR SPACES There are seven (7) reserved parking spaces that are set aside for use by the families of prospective students when they visit the University s Admission Office for the purpose of touring or possible admission to this University. These spaces are located at the rear of Faculty/Staff Lot E and they are clearly identifiable by signage, as well as, the reserved spaces being painted green in color. Over the past month security personnel have found that some faculty, staff and students have been illegally parking in those spaces. This type of conduct by University affiliates has created difficulties for visitors to this campus. On occasion it has been found that some violators have not displayed their parking permit on their parked auto in an apparent effort to avoid being identified. Nonetheless, parking tickets have been and will continue to be issued in these instances. In a further effort to discourage unauthorized parking in the Admission Office spaces, violators will be subject to receiving a $ fine in the future. Your understanding and cooperation is appreciated. John M. Gallagher Assistant Director, Security and Safety
