Abandoned/Broken Down Vehicle Policy

The purpose of this policy is to reduce the number of abandoned and/or broken down vehicles on campus. All vehicles must be registered with the Campus Security Office.

Definition of Abandoned/Broken Down Vehicles: A vehicle is considered abandoned or broken down if the vehicle has not moved in the last 10 days and/or shows signs of abandonment or not operational (flat tires, expired tags, no tags, etc.). Any resident who will be off campus for an extended period of time must notify Campus Security.

  1. Any vehicle determined to be abandoned or broken down and is not registered will be documented and marked with a notice advising the owner that their vehicle will be removed from campus via local wrecker service in 30 days from the date on the notice.
  2. For vehicles that are registered, the Campus Security Office will contact the registered owner and notify them that they have 30 days to either remove the vehicle from campus or repair the vehicle to working order. Failure to comply will result in vehicle being towed and owner being charged for the tow.
  3. All vehicles are towed at the owner's expense.
