We would like to encourage anyone parking a vehicle on the Alfred State Campus to review the Alfred State Parking Regulations in full at: https://www.alfredstate.edu/university-police/parking-regulations

Important information to avoid being ticketed is as follows:

All vehicles parked on the Alfred State Campus must have a parking pass (permanent or visitor) hung on their rearview mirror. 

Students that reside on campus are not allowed to park in Faculty and Staff (F/S) lots. Commuters (CR) who are attending night classes after 4:30 pm may park in F/S lots: 6, 7, 10, 11, 28 and 29 for the duration of their class.

Students that reside on campus are not allowed to park in Commuter (CR) lots, even if you drive to Wellsville every day.

Students are not allowed to park in fire lanes, on dorm ramps, in the grass, on sidewalks, in Future Pioneer spots, visitor or accessible parking spaces.

If a parking lot is closed off with parking cones, and/or signs, do not enter the closed parking lot. This includes overnight and/or for just a short time. Please pay attention to the daily student announces as there are many parking lot closures throughout the semester for various campus events. 

If you receive a parking ticket, you have 5 business days to appeal that ticket in person at the University Police Department.

A vehicle which has 3 or more outstanding parking tickets may have a wheel lock placed on the vehicle until all tickets are paid in full. 

As a courtesy to your fellow Pioneers, if you do not plan to use your vehicle daily, or at least every couple of days, please park your vehicle in one of the upper parking lots such as 18, 19, 20, 20a (near the stadium) or 31 (located behind Peet Hall). 

Once again, University Police would like to remind all persons not to enter, walk within or block any campus areas that are currently under construction. No one should be crossing through, moving or damaging fences. If there is a fence or caution tape in your walking route, please find an alternate route around the construction area. This is for your own safety.

Many unseen hazards exist within these areas and emergency personnel may be unable to gain access or assist in the event of an accident or emergency.  

Do not tamper with any of the construction vehicles or property at any time. This includes moving or interfering with any cones, fences, barriers and caution tape observed on campus. 

Persons caught in construction areas, tampering with, or moving any construction property will be prosecuted. 

Looking to get more involved on campus with a leadership position AND have your housing paid for? The Office of Residential Services & Student Engagement are now accepting applications for the Residential Programmer position for the academic year 2024-2025. This collaborative position works to build community within our first-year residence halls by planning weekly events, posting monthly informational flyers, taking residents to events, and more. 

Apply today!

For more information, please contact Assistant Director of First Year Engagement, Calsey Bump, at bumpce@alfredstate.edu.
