POLICY ON VISITORS TO CAMPUS (from College Catalog)
[Also applies to members of the media. Media should contact Kristen Holmes, above, immediately upon entry and, if possible, prior to visiting campus.]

1. All police or other law enforcement visitors to see individual students must be joined by either a WSCC Police Officer, the Vice President for Students, the Night Coordinator or other designee while meeting with students on campus. 
2. If someone shows up unescorted at a classroom door seeking a student, the instructor should direct him/her to Lion Central or the appropriate party. 
3. Visitors for the purpose of serving papers on a student will be verified as legitimate and papers as authentic before meeting with students.
4. Students will be contacted at location specified by law enforcement visitor and asked to speak with the visitor in the Campus Police Department, the Vice President for Students' office, or the Auxiliary Director’s office.
5. WSCC staff will not give out any information on a student aside from Directory Information (name, address, phone number, date of birth, level of education, and major). Officer/visitor must already know location of student. 
6. Guests, such as children, personal friends, or family members of faculty/staff members or students, should have a specific purpose for prolonged visitation on campus and be limited in time and location to not interfere with college/departmental operations. Guests are not permitted in classrooms during class time unless approved in advance. Children may not be left unsupervised on campus.

MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND REGULATIONS (from College Catalog)

1. The purpose of these regulations is to reduce traffic congestion and facilitate orderly parking. The Alabama State Motor Vehicle and Traffic Law is also in full force on the campus. Wallace State Community College establishes fees and fines for parking on the campus.
2. Students must register vehicles routinely driven on campus. Registration information includes student number, driver’s license number, make and model of vehicle, and tag number of vehicle.
3. At the time the vehicle is registered, the College will issue a hanging decal. It should be facing forward on the inside rear-view mirror. Only the current decal should be displayed. Additional hanging decals can be purchased for $5.00.
4. Drivers are responsible for finding an authorized parking space.  
5. A parking permit does not guarantee the holder a parking space but only an opportunity to park within a specified parking area. Ownership of the parking permit remains with the college.
6. Abandoned vehicles left over 14 days, are subject to removal from campus.
