Parking Violations

Vehicle owners are responsible for any citations made against a vehicle, regardless of who was driving the vehicle. Public Safety reserves the right to tow any vehicle when extenuating circumstances occur without notice.

Restricted Parking: No Public or Commercial Use

Moody Bible Institute's parking facilities are exclusively reserved for individuals with direct affiliations to our institution. We do not sell, lease, or offer parking spaces to outside entities, businesses, or individuals who are not visiting Moody or otherwise affiliated with our campus. Our limited urban campus parking is strictly maintained for the use of our students, faculty, staff, official visitors, and alumni. This policy allows us to better serve our campus community and those with legitimate Moody business. We carefully monitor our parking areas and enforce regulations to ensure these resources remain available for their intended users. Individuals seeking parking without a direct Moody connection will need to utilize public or commercial parking options in the surrounding area.

Parking violations are issued for the following reasons:

Parking without valid permit
Parking in the wrong lot/space
Improperly displayed permit
Parking in a reserved space
Violating posted parking instructions
Parking outside of a marked space
Parking in an ADA (American with Disabilities Act)-reserved space without an ADA hangtag or license plate (The cross-hatched area next to the space is considered part of that space.)
