General Parking Information
Traffic and parking regulations are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends, holidays and vacations. St. Mary's College reserves the right to regulate the use of any or all of its vehicle parking facilities including the authority to:
- Deny vehicle-parking privileges to any individual and/or any groups of individuals who willfully violate and abuse the privileges.
- Reserve parking facilities for the exclusive use of selected groups and designated individuals.
- Tow illegally parked vehicles as the situation warrants. The responsibility of locating a legal parking space rests with the operator of the motor vehicle.
Lack of space will not be considered a valid excuse for violating any of the provisions of these regulations. St. Mary's College reserves the right to increase, remove, or reallocate parking spaces as the need arises. Changes, if any, will be advertised and become effective with the posting of signs and/or by announcements in official college publications and emails. Any person who operates a vehicle or vehicles on the campus of St. Mary's College will be held accountable for all traffic and parking violations charged to the vehicle or vehicles. Students, faculty and staff are responsible for advising their visitors that they are required to obtain a valid temporary parking permit from Public Safety to park on campus. This permit can be obtained from the Department of Public Safety 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every vehicle is required to have a valid parking decal displayed on the vehicle at all times.

Campus Parking Process for Faculty/Staff
All faculty and staff must obtain a parking decal that is specific to particular lots on campus. These parking decals must be obtained at the Department of Public Safety which is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Faculty/staff are allowed two (2) decals. If you have more than two (2) vehicles, a temporary decal needs to be obtained for that vehicle. Lots will be designated by letter only.
Campus Parking Process for Residents
Resident students must purchase a parking decal that is specific to a particular campus parking lot. The business office will sell only as many decals in each residential lot as there are spaces. Students will identify their priorities for which lots they prefer to be assigned at the time of parking registration/payment. Lots will be designated by letter, and decals will display a corresponding assignment letter. Assignments will be made on a first come first choice basis except for first year students, who will be assigned to Lot T (Guam). Students who are unable to get their first choice will be considered for their second choice, etc. Permit fees remain unchanged and are identical for all lots ($100).
Campus Parking Process for Commuters
Commuter students must purchase a parking decal that is specific to particular commuter lots on campus. Registration/payment for a commuter decal is handled on the Portal under the finances tab. Lots will be designated by letter only. Permit fees remain unchanged and are identical for all lots ($100). Commuters may park in any Faculty/Staff space after 5pm.
Campus Parking Process for Visitors
All visitors are required to display a valid temporary parking decal at all times. Lots will be designated by letter only. The following are guidelines to assist offices in their planning for on campus visitor parking.
For individuals and groups less than 30, Public Safety will package passes for offices that receive a high percentage of visitors (e.g. Admissions, President, Development, etc.). The receiving office will be responsible for providing parking passes to visitors in advance.
For groups 30-100, the sponsoring office should contact Public Safety during the planning phase of the event (e.g. lectures, sporting events, concerts). Public Safety will then designate the parking location within the vicinity of the event and will direct the traffic accordingly.
For groups of 100 or more, Public Safety will have the responsibility for planning to accommodate vehicles when these events occur and will make arrangements for adequate parking spaces.
VIP parking can be arranged by phoning the Department of Public Safety in advance. In the case of events of 100 or more, sponsoring offices should create appropriate signage to be placed by Public Safety for parking.
For any additional information, please contact the Department of Public Safety at ext. 4911.
