College Security: Motor Vehicle Registration
and Parking Regulations
Kalamazoo
College provides parking facilities in an effort to meet
the needs of faculty, staff, students, and visitors. Because
of limited space, the operation and parking of a motor vehicle
on campus is a privilege. Drivers are expected to know and
abide by all motor vehicle regulations and to assume all
responsibility for any damage to vehicles while they are
operated or parked on Kalamazoo College property. Regulations
have been developed to encourage orderly parking, easy movement
of traffic, pedestrian safety and access for emergency vehicles.
The Kalamazoo College Security staff has the authority to
ticket and tow vehicles that are in violation of College
regulations.
