All vehicles on campus and in College-leased apartment areas are required to be registered with Security within the
first week of the semester of the current school calendar year. A permit decal, for current school calendar year, will be
issued and must be displayed on the vehicle at all times.
There is no charge for the first permit; however, there is a $5.00 charge for each additional or replacement permit. When
registering a vehicle, the license plate number, year, make, model and color of the vehicle are needed. The College is
not responsible for lost or stolen items or damage to vehicles parked on campus. Vehicle owners are required to have
adequate insurance as required by State Law. Campus Security recommends every student have an extra set of keys
available in case keys are locked inside of the vehicle. Security may not be able to assist with unlocking the vehicle.
Painesville police are not able to assist with vehicle lockouts. Students should refer to the Security tab of the Lake Erie
College web page (www.lec.edu), or the bulletin board located outside of the Security Office for information concerning
Rules and Regulations concerning parking on campus.

owner’s expense or having a boot applied making it impossible to operate the vehicle until the violation is addressed
with Security and a boot fee paid . This includes College-leased apartment areas. Citations and fines are issued for
violations; repeat violations, during the current academic year, will result in an increased fine. Parking fines are $10.00
for the first violation, $25.00 for the second violation and $50.00 for the third and each subsequent parking violation.
Fines are automatically billed to the student’s account and can be paid at the Accounting window in College Hall.
