2025 - 2026 Student Handbook

Parking

Parking is permitted only in designated areas on campus. All students are required to display an official university decal for any vehicle they wish to park on campus. Decals are obtained from the Campus Safety Office in McRae-Morrow Hall during regular office hours.

 

Tickets and Fines

Students may park in any non-designated space on campus.

Tickets will be issued for improper parking, not having a BUF parking decal properly displayed, parking in a handicap zone without the proper handicap decal displayed, driving or parking on grass, driving in the wrong direction on campus, and any other traffic violation that is observed.

These are the fines for observed violations:

First offense Warning
Second offense $10 Fine
Third offense $20 Fine
Any offense after the third $50 Fine

On the third offense the student reports to the Director of Campus Safety to receive a written reprimand that is to be placed in his/her file.

 

Unauthorized parking in a designated handicap parking space will be ticketed and charged a fine of $250.00 for the first offense. Subsequent offenses will result in a fine with the offender losing all campus parking privileges for one semester. All tickets will stay in a student’s file for one year.

 

Appeal Process

Any person who believes his/her vehicle has been ticketed in error without cause may appeal. All appeals must be made to the Director of Campus Safety within five (5) business days of the date appearing on the citation or the right to appeal is forfeited. All appeals must be in writing.

 

Parking Recreational Vehicles

The university provides parking spaces for recreational vehicles. These spaces are limited in number and availability. They are intended for use by volunteers and friends and family of the university community. Use of the spaces is limited to a maximum time of two weeks except for volunteer work groups on the campus.

No recreational vehicles are to be parked in the housing areas or at any place other than that designated by the school. All use of the spaces is to be scheduled through the Director of Campus Safety.
