Campus Parking Regulations

Many students, faculty, staff, and visitors use our parking lots. Visit our Parking Map page for information on where to park.

All vehicles parked on Simpson College property must display a valid parking permit.

Vehicles not displaying valid permits should be parked on the streets.  Parking registration is handled at the Office of Security in the Brenton Student Center.  The office also has replacement permits and temporary parking tags.  You do not need to register a vehicle if you wish to park your vehicle on the city streets.

Fines
Any unauthorized use or possession of a parking permit is $25 and the student may be subject to additional disciplinary action through the campus disciplinary process.

If you receive a parking ticket you will be charged the following fines:

For 1-10 tickets:

  • $10 per ticket for registered vehicles
  • $25 per ticket for unregistered vehicles

Parking on the curb violations are:

  • $25 per ticket for all vehicles.

Handicapped violations are:

  • $100 per ticket for all vehicles and you may also be subject to an Indianola Police Department handicap violation.
