G. STRACHAN, ASSISTANT DEAN, ADMIN. & STUDENT SERVICES PARKING: SEPTEMBER - DECEMBER, 1986 Subject parki Parking is again available under cover at V.V.I, for the Fall semester. The cost for parking is ill.00 per day or part thereof, payable on or before the first day of class. Should your class be cancelled, a refund on the unused portion shall be made. In the past, some Instructors have paid for their parking while others have parked illegally. This unfair situation has created a problem for both the Instructors who are paying for their parking and the Security Guards. Commencing 1986 October 21, any car found without a valid parking permit will be towed away at the owner's expense. Your cooperation will be appreciated in obtaining a valid parking permit. Should you misplace or forget to bring your permit, please advise the Switchboard Operator or C.E. Office (local .252) to avoid any misunderstanding. Parking permits are available at the Cashier's desk in the Student Records Department, Monday - Friday to 17:00 and at the C.E. Office in the evenings or Saturdays. Thank you, R. G.
