Eligibility and Registration

Eligibility
Any Otterbein student, faculty or staff member may operate a motor vehicle in the campus area, provided that vehicle is properly registered and the decal properly displayed.

The campus area is interpreted as all college-owned property within: the north boundary of the athletic fields and their extension on the north, Knox Street and its extension on the east, Plum Street on the south and West Street on the west.

Visitor permits are issued by the Security Office. Click here for visitor parking information.

Motor Vehicle Registration
The ability to register and operate a motor vehicle is a privilege which may be revoked by failure to operate and park a motor vehicle properly. Motor vehicles shall be registered for the year no later than the third day of classes at the beginning of the academic year with the Security Office, which is located in the Campus Center. Any person wishing to register a motor vehicle after the beginning of the academic year must do so within three working days after bringing the vehicle to campus. Individuals may not register vehicle(s) for another person to use in the campus area (state registration to determine ownership), and the signature on the registration application will be considered as evidence of a thorough understanding of these regulations. The vehicle decal/registration owner is ultimately responsible for violations of that vehicle.
