See below for new permit placement!

Introduction
Parking and operating a motor vehicle on the Keene State College Campus is a privilege. All vehicles on the Keene State College campus must be registered with the Parking Office and display a valid parking permit or pass on the vehicle. Vehicle registrants and operators must comply with all policies regarding registration, parking, and operation of vehicles as published in the Campus Parking and Motor Vehicle Policies brochure.

Because there is limited available parking, registered vehicles are not guaranteed a space. Parking is on a "first-come, first-served" basis.

It is the responsibility of all Community Members and visitors to park in lined spaces in the appropriately designated lots. Vehicles found in violation of these policies may be ticketed, booted or towed. Vehicle registrants are responsible for all fines and fees associated with policy enforcement.

Vehicle Registration
All vehicles, including motorcycles (or any motorized vehicle), operating on campus must be registered no later than the first week of classes each semester.

Students, faculty, and staff may apply for parking permits by logging on to "The Permit Store". When you reach "The Permit Store", enter Keene as your parking destination. Students will need to use the last 5 digits of your Datatel Student ID number to log in. Limited parking is available for resident and commuter students by application only. You may reach The Permit Store by using this link.

If you are paying by check or money order, your decal will not be mailed until the check or money order is received.

If you are paying by credit card, once you have entered your credit card information, you will receive a message that says "approved" - this only means your credit card was accepted - it does not mean your parking request was approved.

Faculty/Staff and Contract Services Parking
Faculty/staff parking permits (hangtags only) are available for any Keene State College full-time or part-time faculty, staff member, or contract services personnel. Full-time students hired as ancillary KSC employees must work a minimum of 20 hours per week for the duration of the academic year in order to obtain a faculty/staff permit. The supervisor/director of the student's employing department must provide written confirmation that the student is employed by that department for the hours required. The supervisor/director of the student's employing department must notify the Parking Office if the student employee terminates his/her employment status. The Director of Campus Safety and/or his/her designee reserve the right to deny or revoke this privilege.

Dependents of faculty, staff, or contract services personnel are not permitted to park using this permit. Permits may not be transferred, sold or lent to another individual and are only valid when used by the registered faculty, staff, or contract services personnel.

Faculty, staff, and contract services personnel are limited to one permit per academic year which can be moved from vehicle to vehicle, however all vehicles must be registered through The Permit Store to avoid ticketing.

The KSC faculty/staff lots are available from 4:00 p.m. to midnight, Monday through Friday, for use by any vehicle displaying a current KSC commuter parking permit. These lots are also available for overnight parking from 4:00 p.m. Friday through midnight Sunday. No decal or permit is needed during these times.

Resident Director Parking
RD parking spaces are designated for Residence Directors and/or professional staff designated by the Director of Residence Life as professional live-in staff. ARAs, RAs or other non-professional live-in staff are not eligible to park in these spaces. In conjunction with the Director of Campus Safety, the Director of Residence Life may make exceptions based on extenuating and mitigating circumstances.

Violations

Any vehicle parked in a lot without a permit for that lot is considered to be illegally parked. Department of Campus Safety personnel will impartially ticket, immobilize and/or tow the vehicle according to departmental policy.

An illegally parked vehicle may be ticketed every 4 hours until the vehicle is moved, immobilized or towed. Vehicles that are illegally parked in spaces reserved for people with disabilities, fire lanes, travel lanes, or tow zones will be ticketed and towed immediately.

Any vehicle left unattended for more than 5 minutes while idling will be cited in compliance with RSA 125-C:4, I(a) and RSA 125-C:6, XII (Env-A 1101.10).

A fine is levied for each parking offense. You have the right to appeal a violation within ten business days of the date of issue. Appeals will not be accepted after the appeal period and all violations and fines will stand "as is". All fines must be paid online at www.scapay.com.

Unpaid fines will be transferred to a collection agency and the college reserves the right to place a "hold" on student accounts. Individuals with unpaid parking fines will not be permitted to register a vehicle on campus or receive any parking passes until the fines are paid. Vehicles with outstanding fines, regardless of the registrant, cannot be registered if they are showing outstanding parking fines. The Director of Campus Safety or his/her designee, reserves the right to deny or revoke parking privileges for any individual or vehicle for cause.

The following is a list of violations for which a vehicle can be ticketed. Because not every situation can be anticipated, this list should not be considered all-inclusive:

Chronic Violators

An Individual whose vehicle has been issued three or more parking tickets, paid or unpaid, in the previous 12-month period is considered a chronic violator.

Chronic violators will be ticketed and towed whenever their vehicles are found in violation, and if not resolved, may result in the revocation of future KSC parking privileges.

Chronic violators may be referred to the Keene State College Office of Mediation and Dispute Resolution (if students) or the Dean or Department Head (if faculty or staff) for resolution.

Payment of a parking violation does not remove the offense from your record. Total violations include all tickets paid and unpaid.

Violations Issued to the Guest(s) of Students

Unpaid tickets that have been issued to vehicles operated by guests of students are the responsibility of the student host and will be posted to the credit card on file or the student account.

Booting/Towing

Any vehicle observed to be in violation of the following may be immobilized (booted) or towed:

Towed vehicles will be removed from campus to the yard of the tow company. The vehicle operator will be responsible for any fees or charges payable directly to the tow company, in addition to the cost of the KSC violation. A fee of $25 will also be imposed in addition to the recorded fine.

Vehicles that have been immobilized (booted) will be towed from campus after 24 hours if not claimed by the vehicle operator.

To Release A Booted Vehicle

Appeals

You have the right to appeal any parking ticket. Appeals are filed electronically by logging on to The Permit Store (Destination Keene) or SCAPAY, and must be filed within 7 business days of the issue date of the ticket. The Parking and Traffic Appeals Board, which meets regularly during the semester, hears parking appeals.

In order to expedite appeals during semester breaks, summer sessions, extended vacation breaks, and/or other times deemed appropriate by the Director of the Department of Campus Safety, the Department of Campus Safety reserves the right to have appeals heard by either the Director of the Department of Campus Safety, the Assistant Director of the Department of Campus Safety, and/ or the Parking Services Manager.

To Appeal a Ticket:

· Log on to The Permit Store. (Destination Keene) or SCAPAY.

· Complete the online form and submit it within 7 business days of the date on the ticket.

· The appeal will be submitted to the Parking and Traffic Appeals Board for a hearing. The board will either approve or deny the appeal. If the appeal is denied, the Board may or may not recommend a fine reduction.

· The results of your appeal will be mailed or e-mailed within 3 business days of the Board's decision. Appeals that are denied or reduced must be paid within 7 days of the Board's decision. Denied appeals can be submitted (in writing) to the Director of the Department of Campus Safety for further review, however the ticket must still be paid within the 7-day period.

Basis for Appeal

Granting of an appeal will be based solely on the circumstances present at the time the ticket was issued. Reasons for appealing such as "I was there for just a few minutes", "I didn't know you could not park there", "I was late for class", "There were no signs saying not to park there", among others, are not acceptable as a valid reason for an appeal.

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Parking and Traffic Appeals Board or would like to recommend someone, please contact the Office of Parking and Shuttle Services for an application and list of qualifications.
