There is a link on SC Connect “parking registration form” Please note the form does not give confirmation that you have registered. Rest assured that when you hit submit it will work.

The Security office will receive your information in a report. It will take 3-4 business days for them to process it and get the decal to your campus mailbox after the school year has begun. If you don’t have a mailbox or are a commuter without a mailbox, you should stop by the Security office in Hillman Hall room 12 and pick up your decal.
No, please just give it a few days and then check. If it’s not in your campus mailbox email jennifer.milani@simpson.edu. There are just too many students to email each when their decal is ready. You do not have to stop in Security (though you are welcome to) a simple email will be enough.

Email jennifer.milani@simpson.edu so that we can check on your registration. If you did register, we will automatically void the ticket. Getting your decal on your vehicle is a priority. We know how busy all of the students are in the first weeks, but we don’t want you to get tickets when your decal is sitting in your mailbox waiting for you. Please be conscientious of getting registered before school begins.

These are 15 minutes spaces and you should use your hazard/indicator lights when parking there. If you will be longer then that, you should message Security jennifer.milani@simpson.edu to let them know that you will need to be there longer. There are cameras on each area and will be monitored if you appeal a ticket for parking in these spaces. Kresge Circle and Barker Loading are NOT parking lot spaces!! If you are helping a friend (medical/accident/moving heavy furniture) you can park in the loading zones, but you need to use your hazard indicator lights. We will not ticket you if your intentions are to be there just a short while.
DDD – the 12 selected spots are chosen by the house. All other residents in DDD will need to find alternate parking.

NO. If your appeal starts with “I was only parked in Hillman/Wallace/Kent for ___ minutes, you are still getting a ticket. One minute or one hour doesn’t matter. Do not park there. These are for faculty, staff and visitors. If you park there, fines will apply and not likely be an acceptable appeal.
Please feel free to call Security. We can give you a ride or we can stay on the line while you walk back. You can call a friend to talk with you while you walk back. You can use Rave Guardian. You have lots of options. If you park in a faculty lot and risk it, your ticket appeal shouldn’t be because of not wanting to walk.
You will need to register. Prorated fees will apply if it is at semester.
