Frequently Asked Questions
If I am locked out of my room who do I call to let me into my room?
Call your floor Resident Assistant first. If your RA is not available you may try your Residence Director or Campus Public Safety. If you live in Laguna or Huntington Hall and the Link is open, the Resident Assistants can open your door. Have your University ID card available or the ability to prove your residency for the room. Disciplinary action may be taken for trying to access another student's room.
If I am driving a different car to campus for a couple of days, what do I need to do?
If something happens to your vehicle and you are driving a different car to school for less then two weeks, you can come into Campus Public Safety and get a temporary parking permit. Please have the make, model, and license plate of the temporary car along with your driver's license when you come in.
If I live off campus do I need to register my vehicle?
All vehicles that are driven on campus must be registered through Campus Public Safety.
If I am a Commuter Student, am I required to have a parking permit to park on campus?
All vehicles parking on campus must display a Vanguard University parking permit. The exceptions are guests visiting the campus for the day.
May I park in the fire lane? I will just be a few minutes.
The fire lanes are for the exclusive use of emergency vehicles and according to the California Vehicle Code (CVC) you may not stop in the fire lane. Costa Mesa Police Officers may issue parking citations on VUSC property for fire lane violations.
If no one is using the disabled parking space and I can't find an open space near my building, may I park in the disabled parking space?
The disabled parking space is for persons with a disability who prominently display an approved disability placard. The disabled parking space includes the blue striped area next to the space with the disabled icon and or in front of the ramp.
May I bring my dog on campus to run the track with me?
Pets are not allowed on campus.
May I wash my car on campus?
The Environmental Protection Agency will not allow us to wash cars on campus because the wastewater drains directly into the drainage system and does not receive any treatment before it empties into the ocean.
May I have two vehicles on campus?
Yes, you may have two vehicles on campus. They must both be registered through Campus Public Safety and display a valid parking permit.
