Campus Parking

[Printer Friendly Version]

The motor vehicle regulations are designed to maintain convenient, safe and orderly parking for the students, faculty, staff and guests of DeVry University/Phoenix. Signs and markings are placed in the driving and parking areas to facilitate ease of parking and a safe traffic flow. It is important that all individuals abide by the signs, markings and the motor vehicle regulations. Use of a "Club", a security device for trucks and cars, is highly recommended for all vehicles.

Parking Fees

Parking is available at the school for students who purchase parking permits or who obtain a carpool pass. Parking permits can be purchased for ten dollars ($10.00) during the first 2 weeks of the semester in Student Services. For the remainder of the semester, parking perrmits can be purchased for fifteen dollars ($15.00). A parking permit or carpool pass does not, however, guarantee a parking space. a new parking permit or carpool pass must be obtained each semester!

Tickets paid within 24 hours will have the fine reduced by 50%. Tickets not paid after 10 (ten) days will be doubled. Tickets not paid will cause a ‘HOLD’ on registration or graduation processes. Also, Immobilization may be used, if warranted.

Parking Lot Violations

Occupying more than one (1) parking space	$15.00
Violating restricted/reserved parking areas	$15.00
Parking in a roadway	$15.00

Parking Areas

The following will help students determine where to park:

Standard-Size Cars and Trucks

These areas have regular-size parking spaces that can accommodate large vehicles. Students driving compact-sized vehicles should not park in these areas.

Compact-Size Cars

These areas have smaller parking spaces. Students driving standard-sized vehicles should not park in these areas.

Motorcycles

Motorcycle parking is confined to the designated spaces. Parking a motorcycle in any other area will subject the driver to a fine. Motorcycles can be registered with Student Services, although there is no parking fee for motorcycles.

Bicycles

Bicycles are to be secured in the racks provided for them. No bicycles are to be brought into the courtyard, balcony areas, hallways, offices, or classrooms. DeVry strongly urges the use of a u-shaped, Kryptonite-type locks. A cable with a lock is totally inadequate; bicycles with such locks have occasionally been stolen. Master Locks are available at the DeVry Bookstore. Although students are not required to register their bicycles, they are required to operate their bicycles safely on campus. Riding a bicycle on the sidewalks or lawn or parking a bicycle on campus will subject a student to a fine.

Reserved Parking Areas

Because most visitors are unfamiliar with the DeVry facility and because campus employees may need to come and go several times throughout the business day, DeVry University/Phoenix has provided convenient parking areas to accommodate these needs. Students are not allowed to park in these areas, which have been marked with posted signs as RESERVED. Students are responsible for becoming familiar with the reserved parking areas and observing this restriction, whether or not signs are posted. Such signs are subject to vandalism and theft and ticketing will therefore occur even though a sign may be missing.

Handicapped or Disabled Parking Spaces

Convenient parking spaces have been designated for handicapped persons. These spaces are marked and controlled by the City of Phoenix Fire Department, which requires that a vehicle parked in this area display a handicapped vehicle license plate or temporary permit. The City of Phoenix Police Department will ticket vehicles illegally parking in these designated handicapped or disabled areas. DeVry University cannot give permission to park in the handicapped parking spaces. Students must get a handicapped permit or license plate from the Arizona Department of Motor Vehicles, 1801 W. Jefferson St., Phoenix, AZ 85007. (602 - 255 - 0072) first by obtaining a physician's form from the Department, then having a physician complete this application and finally returning the completed application to the Department.

Parking Attendant

A parking attendant is on duty to enforce the campus driving and parking regulations and to deter vandalism and theft. The attendant is not, however, a guarantee against vandalism, theft, or damage. Any incident of this type should be reported to the local police. However, students should also report any such incident to the campus parking attendant so that he/she may assist in making a police report, and complete an incident report in the Student Services Office.

The attendant is also assigned to aid students and employees who have locked their keys in their car or whose car is disabled due to a low or nonfunctioning battery. Students needing assistance from the parking attendant should come to the Student Services Office.

Trip Reduction Program

DeVry University/Phoenix complies with the 1988 Arizona Quality Bill (HB 2206), which is designed to reduce single occupancy vehicle (SOV) transportation.

In compliance with this law, DeVry University/Phoenix submitted a Trip Reduction Plan, which was approved by the State of Arizona and the City of Phoenix. This compliance is recognized in DeVry University's parking fee and the incentives it offers (such as bus pass subsidies and free parking for carpoolers) to encourage alternate modes of travel. DeVry University may change its parking fee and subsidies should the reduction goal be met or not met. These changes may occur from semester to semester depending on the SOV reduction rate. For more information on the TRP, students should contact the Student Services Office or visit the Trip Reduction Plan site.

Carpooling and Ride Sharing Services

As indicated above, DeVry University/Phoenix offers free parking to students who share transportation to school. Applications for free carpool passes must be completed in the Student Services Office. Carpool applications submitted after Week Three of the term will have a parking charge prorated at the cost of $1.00 per week for parking prior to and including the week of registering the carpool.

In addition, the Student Services Office maintains a carpool-matching list for students and employees who wish to share rides to and from school. Come to Student Services for more information on carpooling.

Rules and Regulations

The following rules and regulations are necessary to control and enforce orderly parking in the parking lot.

Parking Permit - Students and employees who commute to DeVry University/Phoenix by themselves (Single Occupant Motor Vehicle, S.O.V.) between 7am-5pm and park on campus are required to purchase a parking permit. Students may purchase a parking permit during Weeks 1 & 2 of the semester for $10.00. Parking permits purchased after Week 2 will cost $15.00. It is highly recommended that students purchase the permit during the first three (3) weeks of the semester in order to avoid parking tickets. Parking permits can be purchased in the Student Services Office.
Attention - The Parking Attendant will issue tickets for parking violations (specifically, failure to display a permit) following the third week of the semester. Warnings are not required.
Parking Permit Display - The parking permit is in the form of a pass card. The pass card must be displayed in a manner clearly visible to the Parking Attendant, through the windshield of the vehicle. If you display the pass card on the dashboard of the vehicle, we recommend that you remove it while driving the vehicle (pass may blow out of the window). The parking pass cards are numbered and are assigned by number to students and their primary vehicles. Although students may use the pass card in an alternate vehicle from time to time, we ask that you notify the Student Services Office of any long term or permanent changes in vehicles.
Note: A student who fails to display a parking pass card is in violation equal to not having a pass card and may be issued a ticket.

Night Students

Night students are not charged for parking. However, because night students may need to occasionally visit the school between 8am-5pm, they are required to register their vehicles at the time they register for classes.

Replacement Permits

Replacement parking permits (lost, stolen, damaged) will be sold at half price ($7.50) in the Bookstore. Students must notify the Student Services Office if they require a replacement parking permit.
