All Albright students, faculty and staff who want or need to park a vehicle on campus must register for a parking pass. This must be done in person. Parking permits are available at any time, day or night, 365 days a year by visiting the Public Safety office in room 124, on the lower level of the Center for the Arts.  

Parking passes ensure that Public Safety guardss can monitor vehicle safety and notify a vehicle’s owner in the event of a problem, such as lights left on, a flat tire, or a vehicle break-in or damage. Temporary parking permits for guests visiting a student for up to three days are also available in the Public Safety office. Short-term visitors should use parking spaces marked for visitors, with no need for a pass. 

A parking pass must be displayed on the rearview mirror of the registered vehicle with the permit number facing out, so it is visible and readable through the windshield. There is a $40 parking registration fee, which students will see in their student account. The fee for replacing a lost parking pass is also $40.  Parking fines for violations are also applied to a student’s account. 

Employees who change vehicles must obtain a new parking pass sticker. If an employee wishes to register multiple vehicles, they must do so via the Public Safety office. 

Unauthorized vehicles will be towed if parked in a fire lane, handicapped parking space, or when multiple parking violations are issued to the same unregistered vehicle. Fines for parking violations are listed below. First-time offenders receive a one-time warning only if their fines are below $50. 

• Unregistered vehicle/No current parking permit - $50  

• Improperly displayed permit/sticker - $25 

• Parking in a reserved space or lot - $25 

• Unauthorized parking in fire lane or handicapped spot - $200 

• Parking in a loading zone, on sidewalk or grass - $75 

• Parking in a no parking/no driving zone - $75 

• Parking for longer than 15 minutes in restricted spot - $20 

Part of Public Safety’s commitment to the health and safety of our community centers on timely and efficient communication with every student, professor and staff member. To keep everyone informed,  Albright uses the Everbridge™ emergency alert system - available via an app - to send emails, texts messages and other alerts to covey emergency notifications, such as inclement weather details, power outages and facilities closures. 

The Everbridge™ app also enables Public Safety to locate people in the event of an emergency, so officers can quickly and easily locate you and provide necessary services and aid. 

Once the application is downloaded to your preferred device, all students, staff and faculty should complete the following steps to log in and set up your Everbridge account: 

Public Safety manages lost and found items on campus. If you lose or find any property, please visit the Public Safety office in the Center for the Arts, which is open 24 hours/7days a week.  Items not claimed will be donated or discarded after 30 days. 

Albright students must register all guests to campus, so whether your guest(s) will visit for a short time or overnight, you must complete and submit the required online guest registration form.
