For more information, please view the excerpt from the University’s Parking Terms and Conditions:
ARTICLE VII: Towing/Impounding
- Long Term Parking: Students requesting to leave their vehicles here on campus over the summer break shall submit a request in writing to the High Point University Security Department. They will be directed to where to park their vehicles as the parking areas may change due to construction projects during the summer months. Failure to submit a request to the High Point Security Department or not parking in the approved area will result in the registered vehicle owner being contacted for further investigation into the status of the vehicle. If the registered owner or student is no longer a current member of High Point University, contact will be made to have the vehicle removed within seventy-two (72) hours or the vehicle may be towed and stored at the owner’s expense. For any vehicle that is towed, an information report will be completed with photos taken prior to being towed. Parking and storage of trailers on campus can only be approved by the on-duty Watch Commander or the Parking Office. Any trailer that has not received prior approval is subject to relocation and/or towing at the owner’s expense. Any trailer that occupies more than one space is subject to immediate towing.
