PARKING ON CAMPUS

Hilbert assumes no responsibility for damage to or loss of any vehicle or its contents at any time that it is operated or parked on campus.

A person who registers a vehicle is responsible for assuring the vehicle is operated to conform with all campus regulations regardless of who drives the vehicle.

Weather conditions do not affect the applicability of enforcement of these regulations. These regulations apply all year long, including academic breaks.

Vehicle Registration
All vehicles operated by Hilbert students, faculty and staff must be registered with campus safety and have a valid parking permit properly displayed to park on campus. Parking permits have an expiration date.

To register a vehicle, go to:

Hilbert Campus Safety
Campus Center

Or Register Online: https://www.hilbert.edu/student-life/campus-safety/parkingpermitrequest  

Vehicles must be registered within five days of being brought on campus.

• Hilbert students, faculty or staff who wish to obtain a parking permit may be requested to present proper identification or vehicle registration papers upon request.
• You may not obtain a permit for another person's vehicle.
• Parking permits are generally non-transferable, however, transferable permits may be obtained upon request. Permits for multiple vehicles are also available.
• Lost or stolen permits must be replaced immediately.
• Hilbert parking permits may not be reproduced or altered.

Parking Permit Placement
Hilbert parking permits must be displayed on the rearview mirror of the vehicle and be clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle.
