After hours and on weekends they can be picked up at the Campus Safety office located on Leslie Campbell Ave.
  6. Vehicles are parked in the motor pool parking lot located next to the Physical Plant. Each vehicle is identified by the number inside the gas cap. The driver of the vehicle may leave their personnel vehicle in this lot. There will be a parking pass located in the packet for use in the personal vehicle.

Place all information inside the original packet and place it in the drop-off box located at the front of the Physical Plant between the double doors. There will be a $20 penalty charge per day for cars not turned in.

Personal cars are to be used for University business only when special permission has been granted. The following conditions apply:

  1. Allowable expenses are listed on the University purchasing website. Fines for violation of traffic laws are not reimbursable.
  2. The driver must have a valid North Carolina driver’s license.
  3. There must be proper insurance coverage.

Employees are not to rent cars unless specially authorized to do so.

Car rental requires the same approvals as other purchases. When a car is to be rented, the employee must make sure the car is fully insured. He or she will most likely have to pay extra for complete coverage. 

Reimbursement for this expense, if not charged on a University credit card, will be made as for all other travel expenses incurred on the University’s behalf.
