Part II
Registration of Motor Vehicles

The operator of each vehicle will be issued an appropriate decal or permit. The purchase of a decal entitles individuals to park only in those areas designated for the respective decal. The purchase of a decal does not guarantee a parking space. Maps highlighting the major lots by type of decal for both the Williamsburg and York River Campuses are incorporated by reference and made a part of this chapter. Decals are effective for the school year which runs from August 16 through August 31 of the following calendar year.

Additionally, it is a violation to purchase additional decals for distribution to other individuals.

8VAC115-10-90. Categories of decals.

The categories of decals issued by the Parking Service office are listed below.

1. Faculty/Staff (blue). All faculty, administrative personnel, classified and hourly employees of the college are eligible to register motor vehicles and will be issued a blue decal. Students who work part-time for the college will have eligibility determined according to their student status.

2. Resident (yellow). All individuals classified as students by the Registrar of the college, who reside in college administered housing and have completed 54 semester hours (or 4 semesters), or students who reside at Dillard Complex and have completed the equivalent of two semesters, qualify as a resident and will be issued a yellow decal.

3. Day (green). Those individuals classified as students by the Registrar of the college who do not reside in college administered housing will receive a green decal upon registering a motor vehicle.

4. Evening (maroon). Students whose classes begin after 4 p.m., and who do not reside in college administered housing, qualify as an evening student and will be issued a maroon decal. After 4 p.m. they may park in any faculty/staff or student space unless otherwise posted. Evening students who have a frequent need to park on campus before 4 p.m. may purchase the Day (green) decal, as no provision is made for the Evening designation prior to 4 p.m. Evening students who have an occasional need to park on campus before 4 p.m. must obtain a temporary Day (green) permit, which allows parking in Day areas only.

5. Restricted use (red). Students otherwise ineligible to register a motor vehicle, who have obtained permission through the Traffic Appeals Board, will receive a restricted use red decal upon registration. The red decal allows parking only in the William and Mary Hall Lot. Application forms for this permission are available at Parking Services. Permission may be granted upon demonstration that a vehicle is indispensable for employment, essential to continuance at the college, for physical disability or for other college related needs. A student who brings a vehicle to the college without prior special permission is in violation of this chapter.

The William and Mary Hall Lot only permit is available to all college community members who are otherwise eligible. This permit is priced significantly lower than other permits for which individuals may be eligible.

6. General (gold). General decals, which are gold, are intended for Marriott employees, child care center employees and noncollege affiliated persons who volunteer at the college or have a frequent need to visit and use college facilities. The General decal allows parking in faculty/staff areas only.
