Section 681.4.4. Registration.

Motor vehicles and motorcycles shall be registered as follows:

       4.4(1) Students. Every motor vehicle and motorcycle which is operated or maintained by a student on campus must be registered with the university and a registration decal must be displayed on the vehicle in the manner prescribed by the director. Any student who operates or maintains a motor vehicle or motorcycle on campus or who owns a vehicle which is so operated or maintained is responsible for the proper registration of such vehicle and the display of the registration decal thereon.

       4.4(2) Employees. Motor vehicles and motorcycles owned or operated by employees may be registered with the university if the employee so desires, but registration of such vehicles is not required unless the employee is granted parking privileges on the campus. A registration decal may be issued for display on vehicles registered by employees.

       4.4(3) Procedure. Applications for registration shall be submitted to the director in the manner the director prescribes. No student shall register any vehicle owned or actually maintained by another student. No fee shall be charged for registration without parking privileges.

       4.4(4) Bicycles. Bicycle registration is optional.

        a.           To register a bicycle with the university, a current registration form is to be filled out at the parking and transportation offices. Required information includes current name of owner, address, social security number, description of the bicycle, and the bicycle manufacturer’s identification number. Proof of name and address is required. Once the registration form is completed, a decal will be issued.

        b.           Bicycles may also be registered with the cities of Iowa City and Coralville. If these registrations are current and the decal is affixed to the bicycle, the university will accept them in lieu of a university registration.

        c.           Placement of registration decal. The registration process is completed when the registration decal is permanently and visibly affixed to the down- or seat-tube on the bicycle.

        d.           An official university bicycle registration decal is valid if the address and ownership given on the registration form are current. Change in ownership of a bicycle must be reported to the parking and transportation office. Proof of change in ownership is required.
