Motorcycle Regulations

Student Regulations

Students who purchase a virtual permission for their car/truck may park their motorcycle on campus in designated motorcycle parking spaces only after emailing Parking & Transportation to inform us of the motorcycle license plate number and state of registration. 

The permission does not allow for both a motorcycle and vehicle to be parked on campus at the same time. 

Students who do NOT drive a four-wheeled vehicle to campus may purchase a motorcycle-only virtual permission. 

Observe the following rules when bringing a motorcycle to campus: 

  • If an engine is rated over 49cc and requires a license plate, it is considered a motorcycle. Scooters/mopeds/e-bikes that do not require a license plate are considered bicycles and are regulated accordingly. Find more information about Bikes, Scooters and Mopeds.
  • Motorcycles may not park at bicycle racks on campus.
  • Motorcycles may not use a car space.
  • Motorcycles may park in any non-ADA accessible parking or non-blue hashed area in their assigned lot/structure that does not have “no moto” symbol on ground.
