Parking, Fines, and Vehicle Registration

Each student is responsible for operating the vehicle in a safe and courteous manner of the St. Thomas University campus. Students must adhere to all traffic and parking signs. Parking of any motor vehicles on the grass, medians, sidewalks, and places not designated as parking areas is illegal.

Traffic regulations will be enforced 24 hours a day by the security officers of St. Thomas University. A maximum speed limit of 15 MPH will be enforced on the campus at all times. Speeding, failing to stop at stop signs, and failing to adhere informational signs will be considered violations and citations will be issued accordingly. Motorcycles and mopeds will follow the same rules as automobiles for registration and operation on the campus.
