First Year Student Parking Regulations

DePauw is a residential campus, and academic buildings and athletic facilities are within easy walking distance of all living units. Parking spaces on and around campus are limited. The DePauw Police Department designates and regulates parking privileges for students, faculty, and staff.

University Policy

• Any student having a vehicle in Greencastle must obtain and properly display a parking permit for their vehicle.

• Pursuant to Greencastle City Resolution 1998-18 and Indiana Code 20-12-3.5-3, starting with the 1998-99 academic year, the University administration has charged the DePauw Police Department with enforcing the permit requirement on University property as well as parking along city streets.

• Violation of parking regulations may result in fines, vehicle impoundment, referral to Community Standards, and/or loss of parking privileges.

Vehicle Registration

• Students must register their vehicle through the student portal.
