University Traffic & Parking
Students, employees and guests are responsible for maintaining current registration and operating their vehicles according to Pennsylvania state law and Susquehanna University traffic and parking regulations.
Susquehanna University Campus Safety Office reserves the right to make and enforce regulations deemed to be in the university community’s best interest. Violations may result in motor vehicle privileges being denied, suspended or revoked by the university.
Registration for students, faculty and staff
- Students and employees who use parking on Susquehanna University property must display a valid registration sticker or placard and register their vehicles with Campus Safety, which they can do on the myNest Campus Safety site under ‘Forms.’
- Occasional guests to campus are not required to register their vehicles and may use visitor parking areas for up to eight hours per day, for no more than two consecutive days. Longer-term visitors should contact the Campus Safety Office at 570-372-4444 or CSAFE@ballballu.com to request a visitor parking permit. Overnight guests must register their vehicle information
Parking Regulations
- Parking is permitted only in designated areas indicated by signs, painted spaces and/or approval by the Susquehanna University Campus Safety Office.
- Students may not park in areas designated for faculty and staff.
- Limited non-resident student parking permits will be issued for the commuter lot outside of TRAX or general student parking. Students with general parking permits may not park in the commuter lot.
- No one may park in restricted areas designated by “No Parking” signs, yellow curbs or yellow/white lines indicating no parking zones.
- No one may park in or block delivery service drivers and loading zones, walkways and accessible paths or entrances and exits of parking lots.
- No one may park in a fire lane or within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Violators’ vehicles are subject to immediate towing and will be issued a ticket from the Borough of Selinsgrove.
- No one may park on a lawn, planted areas or any surface not designated for motor vehicles.
- Vehicles with a Persons with Disability Parking Placard may be parked in designated spaces. In special circumstances, the Disability Services Office may approve temporary placards.
- No one is permitted to sleep overnight in a vehicle parked on campus. The Campus Safety Office may grant permission for the temporary use of RVs and campers for special events.

Enforcement
- Parking violation is punishable with a fine up to $200. Violators’ vehicles are also subject to towing and other associated expenses and consequences according to this policy.
- Fourteen days after an offense, fines will be forwarded to the Business Office to be billed to the offender/registered operator’s university account. If the violator is a student, unpaid parking tickets will result in a financial hold on the student’s account, and this may impact their ability to register for classes and/or diploma at graduation.
- Campus Safety always enforces reserved, fire lane and accessible parking. At the office’s discretion, parking enforcement will be suspended during finals, as well as the first week of classes through Thursday, with enforcement beginning on Friday.
Parking and Traffic Violation Tickets
- The Campus Safety Office is authorized to issue tickets for Susquehanna University. Tickets issued on behalf of Susquehanna are handled by the Business Office for billing. Borough of Selinsgrove tickets are handled by the Borough Police Department.
