Parking Policies

• Beginning Fall 2008 parking zones will be enforced seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Parking is restricted to specific permit use—Faculty/Staff, Commuter, and Resident Student parking.  Parking areas will be identified by signage or paint color on curbs or surfaces.  There will be NO LIBERAL PARKING ON WEEKENDS.  Students must remain in the appropriate decal zones at all times.  **Lancer Park residents may use campus commuter parking areas on week nights from 7:00pm to 12:00am only in order to use the Library or attend club functions.**
  
  
• Town, county, and state laws must be observed when parking on the Longwood University campus.
  
  
• Parking in fire zones or by fire hydrants, loading zones, and areas where the curbs are painted yellow is strictly prohibited.

• Parking on the Town of Farmville streets is at the driver’s risk.  University parking decals do not authorize parking in the Town of Farmville “Resident Only” parking areas.  The Farmville Police patrol these areas and will issue own citations if violations are observed.

• A limited number of visitor parking spaces are available on campus.  Students, faculty, and staff of the University may not use visitor spaces at any time as they are not considered visitors to the campus.
   
• Visitor parking spaces are designated at the Craft Lot for use by PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS AND OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY VISITORS ONLY.  Individuals using the Craft Lot must obtain a parking pass from the Admissions Office.
  
  
• If a guest is to be on campus anytime during the day, Monday through Friday, the host MUST come to the Parking Services Office when the guest arrives to receive a guest pass for the visitor’s car.  After business hours the host must go to the Police Dispatch Office for the guest pass.  Guests of students will be instructed to park in the Vernon Street or Wynne Lot.  Failure to register a guest’s car is not grounds for appeal.  Visitors of students residing at Lancer Park or Longwood Village will park near the club houses. Remember that all vehicles parking on University property must display a Longwood parking decal or guest pass.
  
  
• Faculty and staff needing guest parking may email their needs to the Parking Services Manager seven (7) days in advance of the guests arrival in writing.  If planning parking for an event, your request must be filed with the Conference and Scheduling Office at the time you make your facility request.  Events requiring large numbers of parking spaces or that require you to send invitations should be made known to us at least one month in advance in writing.
  
  
• Loading/unloading locations have been designated throughout the campus.  Parking in these areas is limited to ten (10) minutes WITH the use of hazard lights.  During peak times of check-in and check-out, University Police will be available to provide assistance.  Drivers are duly warned that the Town of Farmville may still issue citations for violations on town property during these peak times.
  
  
• Persons requiring the use of handicapped spaces on the campus and/or Town of Farmville streets must receive a permit from the Division of Motor Vehicles.  Temporary (5 day) handicapped permits may be obtained from the Longwood University Office of Disability Services with proper verification.
  
  
• Student use of the Brock Commons Garage is restricted at all times.  Students will NOT be allowed to park in the garage regardless of time of day, or day of week.
  
  
• Freshman (those with less than 25 credit hours of work completed) may not bring a vehicle to the campus.  Exceptions to the policy may be granted by the Parking Services Manager based on certain exemption criteria.  All requests for exceptions must be made in writing.
