Students
The fee to register a vehicle is $50 a year. Students must re-register their vehicle each year. You will be given a colored decal based on where you live on campus and your class status. This decal is to be attached to the rear window of the vehicle on the lower left-hand corner (driver’s side). If your rear window is tinted please attach the decal to the front windshield in the lower corner of the driver’s side. If your decal is in the wrong location it may not be seen, especially in the winter.

If you change your housing or your registered vehicle will no longer be on campus, you must come to the Office of Security. Bring your decal and you will be given a free replacement decal for your new residence/car. Failure to bring in the decal will result in a $5 replacement charge. Your vehicle is to display only one decal for the current year. Purchasing a decal does not guarantee that you will always find available parking in your assigned lot. Do not park on the curb or in another lot where your decal is not valid. The parking of a vehicle by a Simpson College student on Simpson College property is a privilege, not a right, granted to the student by the college.

First Year Students
First year students will be issued a silver decal. This decal allows you to park only in the following lots: Barker, South Station Square, McBride/Baseball, Fraternity and municipal pool lot located west of the Detroit apartments.

Commuters
We encourage you to park in the Colonial/Washington lot. Commuters may park in any lot except the Wallace and Barker lots. When driving a different vehicle please transfer your decal.

Faculty and Staff
You will be given a hangtag at no cost. Please hang the tag on your rearview mirror with the number facing out. You may park in any lot. Do not park in the Admissions/Visitor spots or on the curb. There is always parking available in the Colonial/Washington lot. When driving a different vehicle please transfer your hangtag. Student relatives of faculty and staff will be expected to register their own vehicles. They may not use faculty hangtags.

Parents & Visitors
When parents/visitors come to campus they are required to have a guest pass in order to park. Passes are available in the Office of Security. Please advise anyone driving your car where your car should be parked. You will be responsible for any tickets the car receives. There are four spaces reserved for Admissions/Visitors in McNeill/ Hillman. Faculty/staff/students are not to use these spaces.
