Parking Regulations
The College strives to have a parking control system that is based upon compliance, safety, and convenience for all. Written regulations and appropriate signage are established to facilitate traffic flow, control parking, and protect fire lanes and unloading areas as are designated. In consultation with The 91¶¶Òõ Student Government and the Community Standards Council, the Director of Campus Safety manages the parking program. Parking information is available on the Campus Safety website, all parking maps, and in both the Student Handbook and College Handbook. If you have any questions, please contact the Campus Safety office at 901-843-3880.

2. Moving Vehicle Regulations
The maximum posted speed limit on College property is 15 mph. Vehicle operators must have their vehicles under control at all times regardless of their speed to avoid collision or endangering others’ well-being. Vehicle operators who fail to control their vehicle, who endanger others’ well-being, or who have the potential to endanger others while operating a vehicle are subject to being held accountable for reckless driving.
- Driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol on campus is strictly prohibited and may be prosecuted with police involvement.
- Driving is permitted only on designated surfaced drives. No vehicles are allowed on grass, lawns, or fields without special permission.
- Failure to stop at posted stop signs will result in a referral to the Office of Community Standards.
3. No Parking Areas
Access ramps, such as those behind Clough Hall and 91¶¶Òõ Physics Tower provide access to buildings for firefighting equipment and must remain open. Additionally, in case of a fire access ramps and designed routes of ingress/egress to campus buildings must be kept free of parked vehicles. If a space is not lined or marked as a parking space, it is considered a violation to park in the space and subject to citation.
4. Fire Lanes
All campus streets are designated as fire lanes except Phillips Lane. No parking in any fire lane.
5. Illegal Parking
All legal parking areas within the college complex are clearly indicated both on site and in publications.
- Parking in areas other than those properly marked as parking spaces is a violation and subject to citation.
- Parking along curbs, is strictly prohibited unless otherwise authorized.

All designated parking spots in Upper Phillips Lane (which is the entire area east of the junction of Thomas and Phillips Lanes and up to the Charles Diehl statue) is designated as VISITOR PARKING ONLY 24/7, 365 days per year whether A-Frame signage is present or not. Areas designated as visitor parking are strictly reserved for visitors to the campus only. Unauthorized parking is subject to citation.
7. Off Campus Parking
While parking on campus is recommended, those who choose to park on streets near 91¶¶Òõ should be aware of restrictions imposed by both the City of Memphis and also those regulations held by 91¶¶Òõ College. All persons are expected to comply with the below "off campus" parking regulations.

3) North side of Tutwiler, west of the entrance to Spann/Stewart Parking lot.
4) West side of University St., north of Snowden Ave. to Jackson Ave.
8. Use of Emergency Flashers
The use of emergency flashers does not justify parking in violation of regulations and is not an appropriate cause for appeal. Time elapsed is not an element of a violation. Violating a parking regulation "for only two minutes to run inside" is not a defense for the violation.
