Student vehicles are not allowed in parking spaces reserved for visitors. Vehicles that are double-parked, parked on the grass, blocking a driveway, parked over the designated parking lines, or disrupting an orderly flow of traffic are subject to a fine and may be towed away at owner's expense.

Regulations

 The following regulations constitute SCC’s traffic code and are applicable to students, all members of the faculty and staff, and any other persons operating a motor vehicle on college-owned property. These regulations are in effect and enforced at all times.

  1. The college reserves the right to regulate the use of any and all of its vehicle-parking facilities, including
    • denying vehicle-parking privileges to any individual and/or groups of individuals.
    • reserving vehicle-parking facilities for the exclusive use of selected and designated individuals and/or groups.
  2. The responsibility for locating legal parking spaces rests with operators of motor vehicles. Lack of parking space is not considered a valid excuse for violating any parking regulation.

All regulations embodied in the General Statutes of North Carolina governing and regulating vehicular traffic are applicable to and are enforced on the college campus. In addition, the following regulations, which are unique to this institution, are enforced:

  1. Vehicles may not be parked in “No Parking” zones at any time.
