Campus Violence Prevention Policy
Parking Regulations
Students are required to park in paved parking spaces which are not reserved for visitor's, faculty, or staff. Reserved parking applies to vehicles from 8am - 3pm, Monday through Friday, after which anyone may park in these spaces. A one-hour time limit applies to all visitor spaces. When paved parking spaces are filled, the college will provide designated unpaved areas for temporary student use. Restricted parking, including handicapped parking, is marked with appropriate signs.
 At registration, all students are required to obtain a permit which entitles you to park at the college. The permit must be affixed to the left rear bumper or displayed in the left rear window of your vehicle.
This permit will also enable the staff to notify you in an emergency (e.g., your lights are left on, someone bumped into your vehicle). If you temporarily drive a vehicle without a permit, you must obtain a temporary permit from the college receptionist in Stone Hall. Vehicles parked on campus without permits will be in violation. Repeated violations of the campus parking regulations will be considered an offense of the student code of conduct.
For the first few days of each semester, staff members may need to direct vehicles into temporary parking areas. Please follow the instructions you are given during this period of orientation.
For your safety and protection, the Homer lot is closed at dark.
Please take all reasonable precautions to see that your personal belongings are protected at all times. Don't leave books, money, and/or personal items where they can become a temptation for others. We encourage you not to leave valuable items in unlocked vehicles or exposed to view even in locked vehicles.
Handicapped Parking
Disabled students may receive handicapped parking permits after presenting appropriate DMV documentation to the campus switchboard operator.
Campus parking lots have designated areas for the disabled and all buildings are accessible to the disabled. Some parking spaces for disabled are designated "Wheel Chair Only." Those needing assistance around the campus are encouraged to contact the ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] Coordinator in Kennedy Hall, room 145 or call 695-3707.
Parking Violations & Penalties
Violations of parking regulations will result in fines and/or vehicle being towed.

Persons receiving five or more tickets may have their vehicle towed, or face other disciplinary measures.
Emergency Road Services
We hope you do not have any emergency with your vehicle while you are on campus. If you do, however, here are some tips.
Traffic accidents on campus are handled by the Southern Pines Police Department. For assistance, call the college switchboard by dialing "0."
For assistance with dead batteries, keys locked in vehicles, etc., contact the switchboard.
Emergency Phones
Twelve emergency phones are strategically placed around the campus for your saftey and convience. These phones are marked E on the campus map.
To use an emergency phone, push the red emergency button. During college hours the call will be connected to the switchboard; after hours it will connect to 911.
Two code blue boxes are marked on the campus map by B. To activate, press the large red button located in the middle of the device. When the call is connected, you will hear the recording, "Your emergency call has been connected. Speak clearly into the phone." You should communicate the emergency situation and answer any questions. Emergency Response Teams will be dispatched to the scene. During college hours the call will be connected to the switchboard; after hours it will connect to 911.
Lost & Found
The receptionist, located in the administrative area of Stone Hall, serves as the focal point for lost and found items.
