General Considerations
1. Vehicles parked on University-owned or controlled property must display a parking permit, available at the Department of Public Safety. Refer to Obtaining and Displaying a Parking Permit.

2. Those who register a vehicle on campus are responsible for the operation and parking of any vehicle for which they have been issued a permit, regardless of who operates the vehicle.

3. The campus speed limit is 15 mph. Electronic enforcement is used to help reduce speeding.

4. Operators of vehicles displaying a state handicapped permit may park in any designated handicapped parking space. Upon the request of a Public Safety Official, the bearer of a state handicapped permit will be required to produce official documentation to verify that they are the person to whom the permit was issued. Students, faculty and staff with a handicapped permit must also obtain and display a University of Hartford parking permit. There is no other long-term parking provision for persons with special needs. Vehicles parked in state handicapped spaces that do not display the appropriate permit are subject to a fine of $150.00 for the first offense, $250.00 for the second and/or towing. Those who need short-term accommodation for health issues should contact the Public Safety Office before parking anywhere other than their assigned area.

5. If it is necessary to use a vehicle that doesn't display a parking permit, stop at the Public Safety Office or call 860.768.7985 for alternate arrangements.

6. Parking permits from schools within the Consortium for Higher Education are honored on the University of Hartford campus. Operators are responsible for observing University regulations when parking on this campus. The Consortium institutions are Capital Community College, Central Connecticut State University, Charter Oak State College, Hartford Seminary, Rensselaer at Hartford, Saint Joseph College, Saint Thomas Seminary, Trinity College, and the University of Connecticut.

7. Operators of vehicles on property under University control are required to produce a valid operator’s license, vehicle registration, and University of Hartford student, faculty or staff identification upon the request of any University of Hartford Public Safety official. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action and/or fines.

8. The University assumes no responsibility for vehicles operated or parked on University owned or controlled property. Such operation or parking is fully at the risk of the owner/operator of the vehicle.

9. Parking on campus roads, access roads and in fire lanes is prohibited. Vehicles in violation will be cited and/or towed. All vehicles must be parked in a marked space. Those that are parked in fire or traffic lanes, or operated or parked on sidewalks, walkways, grass or any other areas not designated for parking will be cited and/or towed.

10. Public Safety Officers may be able to provide assistance with jump starts. No other service is available on campus for disabled vehicles. Notify Public Safety of any disabled vehicle, and make arrangements to have it removed from campus. Vehicles that are inoperative, disassembled, on blocks, or in any other state of disrepair are not permitted, and may be towed if found on University property.

11. Short-term allowances are made to load and unload vehicle contents. Vehicles must be in a marked space, and may not park in travel lanes, block dumpster's or otherwise impede traffic. Hazard lights must be used when a vehicle is being loaded or unloaded in other than an assigned parking area. Under normal circumstances, fifteen minutes are allowed for this purpose.

The University of Hartford appreciates the cooperation and courtesy shown by students, faculty, staff, and friends who observe established parking and traffic regulations.

Questions about parking policies may be directed to the Public Safety Office, located in the Operations & Public Safety Complex Building. The office is open twenty-four hours a day, and the phone number is 860.768.7985.

Policies in this document are for the benefit of everyone who operates a vehicle on campus. Violation of these policies is harmful to everyone's best interests and can result in the loss of parking privileges and, in extreme instances, further disciplinary action.
