Parking Information

Campus Map

All Mary Baldwin College students must register their vehicles at the College Security Office on the first business day after bringing the vehicle to Staunton. Registration/parking fee for vehicles is $50 per academic year for residents and $20 for commuters. If for any reason a student must change vehicles, the cost for registration of an extra vehicle will be $5 to cover the cost of the decal. Short-term or temporary parking permits are also available at a fee of $5 a month or any portion thereof. Guests parking on campus after closing hours (midnight, Sunday - Thursday; 2:00 am, Friday and Saturday) must register their vehicles by obtaining "Guest Overnight Parking Permits" from the Campus Security Office or from any Security Officer on duty.

Parking violations result in a $25 fine, fire lane violation: $50.00, and handicap violation: $100.00. Five tickets during a semester result in a loss of parking privileges for that semester.
