Loading and Unloading Rules

All persons wishing to drive inner campus and temporarily park their vehicle near campus buildings to actively load or unload items must first obtain permission from University Police Department.

Permission may be requested prior to driving on campus by visiting the University Police Department, located on the corner of W. 2nd and Normal Streets in Yuba Hall, or by phoning 898-5555 as soon as the requestor has reached the desired location.

Time Limit

Vehicles parked inner campus for the purpose of loading or unloading are restricted to a twenty (20) minute time limit.

Vehicles may be subject to citation if:

  • Vehicle has not been given prior permission to use the inner campus area for loading or unloading
  • Vehicle has exceeded the maximum time limit for loading and unloading

Vehicles found to be in violation of any of the parking restrictions listed on this website are subject to a parking citation, revocation of loading and unloading privileges, towing, and/or other action, as deemed necessary by the University Police Department for the safety and security of campus property and the community at large.
