First Year Students
First Year Students are not permitted to possess or operate motor vehicles on the Dickinson campus or in the Carlisle area. This restriction applies to any vehicle regardless of its type, ownership, or registration. This policy is in effect seven days a week.
Exceptions to the policy are granted according to strict guidelines and may only be made by the Department of Public Safety.
- Incoming First-Year students, the parking exemption request form will not be available until the first Monday in August. Please do not submit requests prior to this date as they cannot be processed until the student’s information has been confirmed through the Registrar’s Office.
- Requests for exceptions must be submitted through this form (form not available until after the first Monday in August )
- Requests for exceptions for medical reasons may require the submissions of documents from your health care provider. Public Safety may consult with Access and Disability services for requests of this type.
In the event that a First Year Student is granted permission to possess a vehicle on campus, they will be restricted to park in the farthest west end of the West Kline Center Lot only, and they will receive a green decal to designate their First Year status. They may not park their vehicle anywhere else on campus or on public streets per the First Year Parking Policy. Violating this policy could result in parking fines and having their parking exception revoked.
