2011-2012 Academic Catalog - Victory University

PARKINGOne of the many advantages of Victory University’s campus is the availability of ample parkingfor our students. The University has three parking lots designated for student use: one on thesouth side of campus, one on the west side adjacent to the main entrance for the University,and one on the north side adjacent to Building B. Students must register their vehicles at thetime of registration at the Department of Operations and Public Safety. Tickets/citations will beissued for illegal parking, expired permits, failure to register student vehicles, etc. and mayresult in towing at the student’s own expense.CHILDREN ON CAMPUSAs a Christ‐centered community of learners in an academic environment, Victory Universityaffirms that through God, the institution helps guide students who, trained in the nurture andadmonition of the Lord, lead others in the spiritual hope for ongoing work of the kingdom forgenerations to come. As a community of scholars, the University also affirms its commitment tomutual respect and consideration for others in an atmosphere conducive to intellectual andspiritual growth.In view of these community values, the University seeks to strike a balance not only between anenvironment hospitable to families and children but also one in which discipline, order, andrespect for the University’s mission are preserved.
