Parking penalties
Tickets may be paid in the security office just inside the emergency department entrance. Unpaid fines are turned over to Kettering College administration for collection or deducted from the paycheck for those students who are also Kettering Medical Center employees. Repeated violations of the parking regulations may result in having your vehicle towed and/or disciplinary action. If fines are placed on a student account, a service charge will be added to the ticket. Parking on campus is a privilege, not a right to the student. Failure to follow parking guidelines will result in the following penalties:
- $10 fine if paid within 72 hours (excluding weekends and holidays)
- $20 after 72 hours
- Any tow charge will be added to the fine.
Parking in areas marked reserved, faculty, 10, 20, or 60 minute parking, turnaround only or others will result in the following penalties:
- $10 fine if paid within 72 hours
- $20 after 72 hours
- Subsequent ticket(s): $20
- Any tow charge will be added to the fine.
Bicycle parking
A bicycle rack is provided in the lower level of the employee parking garage at Kettering Medical Center. All bicycles must be parked there. At Sycamore Hospital, bicycles may be parked in the southwest corner of the second-shift lot. Bicycles should be locked to the rack.
Miscellaneous
Make sure that your car is locked and all valuables are secure in your trunk or locker. Vehicles that are inoperable must not be stored on College/Medical Center property.
Student-owned cars may be towed for repeated failure to follow parking guidelines. A full statement of KMC’s parking penalty guidelines is in the KMC administrative policy manual kept in the office of the president.
