Security & Parking

https://www.ndm.edu/public-safety

The Notre Dame campus is an extremely safe place to live and study. A truly safe campus, however, can be achieved only through cooperation of all students, faculty and staff through the responsible decisions they make every day.

Keep Our Campus Safe

There’s a lot you can do to make our campus even safer, if only by using common sense:

• Report any suspicious behavior or criminal activity to Campus Security right away by dialing extension 6666 on campus. (Not an emergency? Call 410-435-0100 or dial extension 5360 from a University phone.)

• Take responsibility for your safety; walk in pairs at night.

• Keep your residence hall room door locked at all times.

• Keep all valuables out of sight in your car.

• Report any unescorted strangers, male or female.

• Do not prop open any exterior doors.

• Know the locations of the Blue Light Emergency Notification System on campus.

• Pay attention to Campus Security bulletins and updates.

Vehicle Registration

All students and employees must register their vehicles with the office of public safety and affix a Notre Dame registration decal. Students planning to park on campus should register their vehicle by the first day of classes for the semester. This includes vehicles owned by a third party (parents, family, etc.) that will be used.

Parking permits may be obtained from public safety in Room 004 of Gibbons Hall during normal business hours, or after hours from the communications switchboard inside the main entrance to Gibbons Hall.

Additional Information

• There is a $100 per year residential parking fee for students who live on campus. There is no fee to register your vehicle for those that commute to NDMU.

• Permits must be displayed in the rear window, driver’s side of the vehicle.

• Parking permits are not transferable. Displaying a permit issued to another vehicle will result in a fine and/or loss of future parking privileges.

Parking Spaces

• Parking is only permitted in designated spaces defined by white parallel lines.

• No vehicles are allowed to park along white painted curbs or on a painted white striped area.

• Students, employees and visitors must comply with all posted signs. It is impractical to mark all areas of college property where parking is prohibited. Parking or operating a vehicle on grass, construction areas, sidewalks, or where it will physically mar the landscaping of the campus, create a safety hazard, interfere with the use of college facilities or hinder the free movement of traffic is prohibited.

Reserved Parking

All vehicles must be moved when requested by the office of public safety. The need for reserving parking areas will be announced by voice- and e-mail. When possible, at least a two-day notice of the date, time and event will be announced.

Please check your voice- and/or e-mail daily for upcoming events. If you are leaving for a long weekend and your vehicle will be left on campus, the office of public safety recommends that you leave the keys with a trustworthy friend or the office of public safety so that your vehicle may be moved if the need arises.

Handicapped Parking

Handicapped parking spaces are located near the entrances of all buildings and are enforced 24 hours a day. A handicapped license plate or a permit issued by the Motor Vehicle Administration is required to park in these spaces.

The use of an issued handicapped permit or plates by anyone other than the disabled individual is prohibited by State law.

Temporary Parking

There are designated 30-minute temporary parking spaces located near many buildings. These spaces are for temporary parking only and will be strictly enforced.
