Parking Regulations
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), Memphis Fire Protection Laws and insurance regulations as well as general safety precautions make parking and traffic control on campus a necessity. Written regulations and appropriate signage are established to facilitate traffic flow, control parking and protect fire lanes and unloading areas as are designated. In consultation with the Rhodes Student Government, the Social Regulations Council, the Traffic Appeals Committee and various other representatives of the Rhodes community, regulations and procedures have been developed for using a motor vehicle on campus. Details are furnished in the Campus Safety Brochure, and both the Student Handbook and College Handbook. If you have any questions, please contact the Campus Safety office at (843) 3880.
Registration of Motor Vehicles. All members of the Rhodes community who park on campus are required to register their vehicles with the Campus Safety Department and display a current registration decal, if they plan on either driving or parking on campus property. If a member of the Rhodes community drives a vehicle on campus, it must be registered with either a permanent or temporary registration decal. (Exceptions only by the direction of the Campus Safety Director)
All students will receive vehicle information forms by mail prior to the opening of the fall term.
Students who intend to use a vehicle on campus should return the completed form by mail. Registration decals will be distributed at the time of registration/validation in person and in the Campus Safety office.
Students who will not be using a vehicle on campus and/or plan to park off campus should also complete the appropriate portion of the same form and return it to the Campus Safety Office.
Faculty and Staff should register their vehicles at the Campus Safety Office. Persons choosing not to register their vehicles for campus parking must still abide by all "off campus" parking regulations as listed below.
Registration Decals.
Decals are colored to indicate registration information and specified parking areas. They must be properly affixed to the lower left, inside driver's side front windshield.
Handicap Parking (to include temporary handicap).
Vehicles parked in handicap spaces must display proper handicap placard or license information. The Memphis Police Department and Campus Safety can also cite violations with fines of $50 to $100.
If a "temporary" handicap need arises for students, petition must be made to the Director of Disability Services.
