With the exception of short-term guests and visitors, all vehicles parked or driven on campus by students, faculty or staff must be properly registered with the college and identified by the current numbered decal provided.

• Students must register their vehicles at the beginning of each fall semester, or the earliest date thereafter if a vehicle is brought to campus later during the semester.

• Only one current decal may be displayed on a vehicle. Decals must be completely affixed to the lower-left hand corner of the front windshield, on the driver’s side, and be displayed in an upright and externally readable manner. (Citations can be issued for improper display.)

Zoned Parking System Rules

Millsaps is designed as a pedestrian campus

• Enforced parking zone hours are from 8 a.m. through 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

• During zone hours, south residents are to park in lots south of the Christian Center.

• During zone hours, north residents are to park in lots north of Bacot, Sanderson and Franklin.

• The HAC lot is open to visitors, faculty, staff, commuter students and drop-offs only during zone hours.

• The circular drive (Whitworth Circle) from State Street is reserved at all times for visitors and staff.

• During zone hours the Academic Complex lots and lots north of the Christian Center are reserved for faculty, staff and commuters.

• Millsaps Campus Safety officers have the option of issuing citations, installing a wheel lock or instituting a tow-away of offending out-of-zone vehicles.

Parking is not allowed in reserved areas that are specifically marked as such.

• Parking is not allowed on lawns, sidewalks nor in areas where curbs or other street surfaces are painted red, white or yellow.
• Vehicles may not block traffic.
• The campus speed limit is 15 miles per hour. Unsafe driving is prohibited.
• Drivers are responsible to the college for damage to college property.
• Campus driving privileges may be revoked for cause by the director of campus safety in consultation with the dean of students.
• Owners of motor vehicles driven or parked on the Millsaps campus must maintain liability insurance for the vehicle. Should any uninsured vehicle be involved in an on-campus accident, the student who owns, leases or is otherwise responsible for the presence of such an uninsured vehicle on campus shall forfeit campus driving privileges for the remainder of the academic year. The uninsured vehicle must be immediately removed from campus. The student must then apply to the director of campus safety for permission to have a vehicle on campus the following year.
• Parking is available at no cost to students, faculty and staff who have a parking decal affixed to their cars.
• Those parking on the Millsaps campus park at their own risk. Millsaps is not responsible for any damage to personal vehicles including, but not limited to, weather damage, accidents, damage or theft.

Students may, with legitimate reason, appeal only one citation per semester. Requests for appeal must be submitted within 2 weeks (14 days) of the citation issue date online at the Campus Safety webpage. The appellate will be contacted by the Office of Campus Safety, and a hearing date set. Right of appeal is forfeited after 14 days.

Reimbursement of successfully appealed parking citations will be credited to the student’s account by the Business Office.

Citations are issued in numbered sequence. The traffic officers that issue citations have no appeal or revocation authority and therefore are not proper sources for verbal appeals.

The traffic citation appeal form can be found here.
