LaGrange College recognizes the importance for an institution of higher learning to develop and maintain a safe and secure environment in which the academic and social pursuits of its members can be fully realized.

The parking and traffic plan and the comprehensive campus safety plan are administered by the Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Experience, along with the Director of Security. Parking decals are distributed in the Business office. A set of parking regulations and a decal are issued to each student who has registered their vehicle. The permits are valid for one academic year.

LaGrange College uses zone parking. Every student, resident and commuter will be required to park only in designated lots. Color-coded decals will indicate which lots students and faculty are permitted

to park in. Individuals who park in undesignated lots will be subject to ticketing and fining and will likely be towed.
