Vehicle
Registration & Decals
According
to South Carolina law, all vehicles
operated on a college campus must be
registered with the college's public
safety office. This allows us to
monitor the parking lots, ensuring your
safety by identifying registered
vehicles and vehicles that may be
operated by perpetrators of illegal
activities. You may register your
vehicle when getting your student ID at
the Library (see
campus map). If you intend to park a
vehicle on campus, please remember to
ask for a free decal. Please
display your decal on the front of your
car.
Only
vehicles approved under laws of South
Carolina will be registered. You
must present a valid S.C. operator's
permit, state registration card and
proof of liability insurance. If
the state registration is in someone
else's name, a written permit from the
registered owner is required.

Temporary
Parking Permits
If
you cannot register your vehicle at the
the appropriate time, you may obtain a
temporary parking permit, which will be
valid for a period not to exceed thirty
(30) days. All temporary parking
permits must be displayed in the lower
left windshield. These permits are
available from the Public Safety,
Business and Continuing Education
Offices.

Parking
& Traffic Violations
Traffic
violation tickets will be issued for any
violation of the traffic laws of South
Carolina and violations of Piedmont's
traffic regulations. During the first
five days of a semester, only warnings
will be issued for minor
violations. However, serious
violations that present immediate
actions will result in a fine and/or
towing at the owner's expense. Fines will
be assessed in accordance with Piedmont
Directive Number 4-1 and will be
stringently enforced.
Students
who fail to pay traffic citations will
not be allowed to register for classes,
obtain a transcript of grades or receive
a diploma. Parking and traffic citations
may be appealed by meeting with the
director of Public Safety within five
days or by following the procedures set
forth in Piedmont Directive Number
4-1. (Please see the Public Safety
Office for details on this directive.)

such activities will be observed.
