Each student requesting on-campus parking must apply online for one of the 250 available parking spots associated with the Global Wellness Center (GWC) and the International Village. Registration for these parking spots will be issued on a first come, first served basis. Priority will be given to seniors and juniors who are licensed to drive. If after Friday, August 19 there are still spots available we will open parking registration to all other licensed student drivers. Students will be given the same color decal and the three different parking areas will be treated as one lot. There will be no designated senior lot, junior lot, or otherwise. NBPS may determine there are more student parking spots available than originally planned, however once the online registration form is closed then there are no more spots available.
Students may drive and park on school premises as a matter of privilege, not of right. As such, the following processes and restrictions apply to students driving a vehicle to campus:
Application
-
Each vehicle must have an application form completed, accepted, and on file with NBPS. A picture of the student’s current and valid driver’s license must be submitted with this application. Learner’s permits will not be accepted.

Students may park anywhere in student-designated lots, with the exception of reserved parking spots such as guest spots and student government spots.
-
Students may NOT park in faculty spots.
-
The school reserves the right to place warning notices, boot, or tow (at the owner's expense) any parked car that is parked without an appropriate decal or that is parked in a non-designated parking area or space.
-
Any student or vehicle accumulating three warning notices may have parking privileges revoked for the remainder of the school year.
-
No refunds will be issued if parking privileges are revoked.
Access to Vehicles: During the school day, vehicles and student parking lots are off limits to students without a pass from the Dean’s office.
Driving On or Leaving Campus: If a student is reported for driving in an unsafe or inconsiderate manner on campus, or violating any laws related to driving on or while leaving campus, a student's driving privilege may be revoked. In particular, when on campus:
-
Observe the campus speed limit of 15 mph.
-
Passengers must be safely seated and buckled within the vehicle.
-
Do not carry more passengers than your vehicle's stated maximum capacity.
-
Remain on paved roads only; do not pull on to the grass to avoid traffic.
-
Only leave and enter the campus by the designated entrances.
Early Dismissal For Student Drivers: A student may be signed out by a parent in person, or the student must provide a signed Early Dismissal Form for Student Drivers (found on the nbps.org website) when they arrive at school. Completed forms must contain a specific time and reason for dismissal along with a daytime contact telephone number for verification. The school will not accept parental permission for early dismissal by telephone, email, or fax.
Consent: Any student who exercises driving and parking privileges gives consent to school authorities to conduct a search of the vehicle and its contents without notice or consent, and without a search warrant, irrespective of vehicle ownership. School authorities will conduct vehicle searches whenever there is reasonable suspicion to believe that illegal and/or unauthorized materials or contraband may be contained within.
