Campus ParkingThe 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.
Tickets not paid within ten (10) working days of the offense may result in immobilization or tow away of the vehicle on any violation thereafter.
Parking Lot Violations
Standard-Size Cars and TrucksThese areas have regular-size parking spaces that can accommodate large vehicles. Students driving compact-sized vehicles should not park in these areas.Compact-Size CarsThese areas have smaller parking spaces. Students driving standard-sized vehicles should not park in these areas.MotorcyclesMotorcycle parking is confined to the designated spaces. Parking a motorcycle in any other area will subject the driver to a fine. Motorcycles must be registered with Student Services, although there is no parking fee for motorcycles.BicyclesBicycles 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 AreasBecause 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 SpacesConvenient 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.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.
In compliance with this law, DeVry University/Phoenix submitted a Travel 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 Travel Reduction Plan site.
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. A Ride-Share matching board, located outside the Gameroom, is also available for all DeVry University students. This program assists students in the coordinating of rides all over Arizona, the United States and Canada. Students in need of a ride or wishing to share vehicle space during school breaks and holidays are encouraged to use this free service.
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. |
