Traffic & Parking Regulations
The authority for establishing traffic and parking regulations on campuses is granted by Minnesota Statute, Section 136F.53 and 169.966, Subd. 8 (1988). The President of Century College has delegated responsibility for enforcement of these regulations on college property to the Director of Public Safety and Campus Security Officers
- Parking permits are issued to employees so they can park in the employee parking lots. Those employees not wishing to park in the designated employee parking lots do not need a pass. Students are not issued parking passes and may park in non-reserved parking spaces on campus.
- Parking on campus is a privilege, not a right. The privilege may be revoked for continued or gross violations of parking regulations and/or unsafe actions while operating a vehicle on campus.
- The college assumes no liability for care of, damage to, and/or protection of any vehicle or its contents at any time while it is operated on or parked on campus property. All vehicles should be locked when unattended and valuables placed out of sight.
- Drivers shall observe college traffic and parking regulations and drive safely, giving pedestrians the right of way at all times.
- The college reserves the right to issue citations, immobilize, and/or tow any vehicle at the owners expense when in violation of established parking regulations.
- Emergency Situations: Vehicle blocking roadways, interfering with safe traffic flow, blocking fire lanes, hydrants, or impeding response of emergency responders may be towed immediately without prior notice.

Parking Violations & Fines
Century College will issue administrative citations for parking or policy violations. The college sets a dollar amount rate for the fine based on the violations.
