Parking and Vehicle Registration
Vehicle Registration
All motorized vehicles must be registered when they are brought to campus. Owners will be issued a decal indicating the lot(s) in which they are authorized to park. An annual $70 registration fee will be assessed to the student's bill. Temporary decals may be purchased at the Department of Public Safety for $2 per week. For those students who do not live in Centre College residences, a commuter decal must be purchased for $10. Visitor permits are free of charge and may be obtained at the Public Safety Annex. Parking on the streets surrounding the campus does not exempt students or faculty/staff from registration and the acquisition of a decal.

Students, faculty and staff can now register their vehicles online. Visit CentreNet to begin. Login with your user name and password, click on the appropriate tab (ex: Student tab, Staff tab, or Faculty tab). Then click on the Vehicle Registration link.

Parking Citation Appeals Procedures
In order to more consistently and efficiently address questions concerning parking citations, the Department of Public Safety has established a written appeals process. Appeals must be filed in writing within 7 business days from the date the citation was issued. Please login to CentreNet to access parking citation appeal form. Persons filing appeals will be notified by campus mail regarding the outcome.
Towing Policy
If any member of the Centre community receives 3 parking tickets within the academic year, she/he will receive a notice stating that if she/he parks in an unauthorized area again, the vehicle will be towed. Once a vehicle has been towed, the owner will be notified and they must contact Public Safety. It will be the owners responsibility to retrieve their vehicle. If the vehicle is once again parked illegally, it will be ticketed and the owner's parking privileges will be rescinded for the remainder of the academic year.
