Attention parents and cadets - Tuition for the Spring 2025 semester is due by Dec. 15, 2024.

Motor Vehicles and Parking Permits

A student enrolled in the VMI Summer Session may keep or park a motor vehicle/motorcycle on post only if the vehicle is properly registered with the VMI Police. Vehicles/motorcycles must be parked in designated areas only (for more information on parking regulations, please consult the “Appendix” in the VMI Summer Session Catalogue).

Failure to properly register a motor vehicle/motorcycle and parking in designated permit parking areas without a permit shall result in the student losing the privilege of parking the motor vehicle on Post. Improper parking will result in fines or the motor vehicle being towed to a privately owned storage facility off Post. The owner of the towed vehicle shall be responsible for paying all towing fees and/or storage fees charged by the towing company. The location of towed vehicles can be ascertained by calling the VMI Police (540-464-7017).

Student Permit Parking Locations. Cadet/Student permit parking is located in the perimeter of Marshal parking lot (as designated by cadet parking signs) and the North Post parking lot beside the North Post Drill Fields- only. A registered and paid for parking permit is required. Additional parking is located at Lackey Farm or Clarkson-McKenna lot.
