Parking
Every vehicle brought on campus is required to have either a parking decal or temporary permit. Students are permitted to park in the areas designated as Student Parking only. Students who park in areas outside of their assigned area will be cited with a parking violation and fined.

Parking Decals

• Student vehicles may be registered during Orientation/Registration days at the station set up for that purpose. After classes begin, students may obtain their parking decals from Security at the Guard Station located at the Main entrance to the campus, the Security Office (Room 116) at the SIMT Bldg., the Security Office at Health Sciences Campus (Monday to Friday during normal hours of operation).
• Parking decals/stickers must be clearly visible from the outside rear, and must be permanently displayed on the left rear bumper or bottom left corner of rear glass of the cars.

Temporary Parking Permits

Students who must drive an alternate vehicle (not registered with FDTC) onto the FDTC campus are required to obtain a temporary parking permit (valid for up to 10 days) from Security at the Guard Station located at the Main entrance to the campus, the Security Office (Room 116) at the SIMT Bldg., the Security Office at Health Sciences Campus (Monday to Friday during normal hours of operation) prior to parking their vehicles on campus.

Public Law 101-542 as amended by Public Law 102-26, the Higher Education Amendments of 1991 is known as the Student Right-to-Know and Campus Security Act. This Act requires institutions to produce and make readily available to current students, and to each prospective student enrolling or entering into any financial obligation, the completion or graduation rate of certificate or degree-seeking full-time undergraduate students entering the institution. Each institution will also publish and distribute crime statistics.

Student Right to Know and Cleary Act Disclosure

On October 28, 2000, Congress adopted the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act, which amended the Wetterling Act to require registered sex offenders to notify the state of each institution of higher education at which the offender is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student. The registered offenders also must notify the state of any change in enrollment or employment status.
