VISIT REQUEST INFO Policies in place at Rocky Mountain College are intended to provide the College community with assistance and management of established parking areas. This also includes issuance of permits, administering and settlement of fines, appeal process, and other policies that affect the usage of any motorized vehicle on\u00a0campus. Rocky Mountain College has established rules and regulations concerning the use of motorized and non-motorized vehicles on campus and its properties. These regulations do not conflict with or supersede any set forth by the city of Billings or Yellowstone County. The Office of Campus Safety at the College is responsible for parking and traffic enforcement on College grounds. Students and visitors to Rocky Mountain College assume responsibility for their vehicle and\/or its contents while parked on College property. Parking and Vehicle Regulations All vehicles parked on Rocky Mountain College property must display a current parking permit. These permits include: Rimview (green), Tech (black), North Fortin (brown), Anderson\/Widenhouse (gold), Prescott (red), or visitor. Vehicles are prohibited from sidewalks, lawns, fire lanes, and other areas not designated for use. Exceptions include maintenance, authorized campus personnel, contractors, and emergency response vehicles. Any vehicle found to be in violation of RMC parking policies will be cited and when applicable, fined. Once a citation has been issued, Rocky Mountain College does not assume any responsibility if the owner\/operator does not receive the notice.

The speed limit on campus property is five (5) miles per hour for all vehicles. All posted signs and traffic control devices must be obeyed. All vehicular traffic will yield to pedestrians, as they have the right of way. No personal shall operate a vehicle on campus in a careless or reckless manner or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Parking Management Responsibility for locating an open parking space in the appropriate designated parking area rests with the vehicle operator. The lack of a readily available designated parking space is not an excuse for a violation of any parking regulation. Overflow parking for all lots is available in the North Lot with access from Rimrock Road, as well as the streets north of campus.

Vehicles will remain immobilized until the director of campus safety or the vice president\/dean for student life authorizes removal of the device. In an emergency, either of these individuals may grant authorization for removal of the arresting device. Rocky Mountain College assumes no responsibility for any damages incurred if a vehicle is immobilized. Attempting to remove wheel locks or drive with one attached will cause physical damage to the vehicle and may cause personal harm to the operator and bystanders. Removal of Motor Vehicles from Campus RMC will remove vehicles from campus property for the following reasons: Illegally parked vehicles that pose a direct hazard will be removed immediately. These may include vehicles parked in a fire lane, any designated &#8220;No Parking&#8221; zone, and any other unauthorized areas.

Please have the following information available when registering a vehicle: Vehicle owner&#8217;s name; Vehicle make, model, color, and year; and Current vehicle license plate number, including state of issuance. All vehicles must be registered with this information before a parking permit will be issued. Returning students must validate their parking permits each year by September 1 of that school year.
