violence. As a result, many institutions, including Clemson University, offer training for
faculty, staff and students related to understanding Title IX as well as options and resources
available. Through Title IX, students who have been impacted by sexual assault, relationship
abuse or stalking can receive information, support and resources. There is a web-based
course all students receive and are strongly encouraged to take in addition to other
educational programming offered throughout the year. For more information about safety,

PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION
One of the most commonly asked questions during New Student Orientation is, “Does my
student need a car?” This is a personal decision for you and your student. While parking is
limited, Clemson has created provisions for both having a car and not having a car.
If a student does have a car and they plan to park it on campus, they will need to register the
car and purchase a permit through Parking and Transportation Services. There is an annual
parking permit application process online. Permits are mailed to the address provided prior
to the beginning of the academic year. Students can get a prorated parking permit if they
bring their car for only part of the academic year. Parking permits run August to August,
annually. Campus parking lots, spaces and zones are specifically marked for the appropriate
parking permit. See the parking map and parking permit regulations by permit type at

There are several convenient ways to get around campus and the city of Clemson without
having a vehicle including the following:
Bicycles
Bicycles are an easy way to get around campus quickly. Bike racks are available all over
campus to secure bikes, and the CUPD provides a service to register bikes and engrave your
information free of charge. All Clemson Area Transit (CAT) buses are equipped to handle
bicycles for further travel.
BikeShare is a bicycle sharing program through B-Cycle. With five stations across campus,
students may check a bike out at one station and return it to any of the other stations
on campus. Included in your $15 Annual membership fee is two hours free with each
reservation. Additional fees may apply for reservations longer than two hours. Sign up

Car Sharing: ZipCar
Car sharing is a program for people who are looking for an alternative method of
transportation in order to save time and money! The hybrid and low-emission vehicles are
great for local errands and even road trips. Annual membership in the program is required,
and fees are based on how long the car is used. To register and reserve cars, visit
Tiger Transit
Tiger Transit is used on campus in two ways. The first way is for shuttle bus services around
campus and connections to satellite campuses like the Clemson Research Park in Anderson
or the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) in
Greenville.
PARENT TESTIMONIAL
“We have been very impressed with
the response time of the campus
representatives. While walking back
from a football game to our daughter’s
residence hall in Lightsey, my wife
noticed a few overhead bulbs out along
the walkway and emailed the campus
police. A representative immediately
responded and action was taken to
replace the light — we were very
happy about that!”
