If students have questions about their transportation authorization, they should contact the Deans Office.

Boarding students must always have permission from the Deans Office or a dorm parent in order to ride in any vehicle on or off campus. Boarding students are not allowed to sit in a day student’s car, even when the car is parked. During the week, boarding students may not ride in vehicles driven by other students. Boarding students may ride with parents/guardians of day students with permission from their parent/guardian and the Deans Office. To travel off campus, boarding students must also abide by the dorm sign out/in process.
