The snack bar and dining hall are operated by ARAMARK Food Services. The Hornet's Nest Snack Bar is located on the second floor of Vail. This informal eating spot is open weekdays and evenings. On the weekends that school is in session, the snack bar is open for evening food service. Students may bring their own meals and eat them at the tables in the snack bar area.
The Thaddeus Stevens Dining Hall is located in its own building between the Stonehenge residence halls and the Library and Academic Center. Vegetarian and heart-healthy options are regularly available along with salads, sandwiches, pasta, and main-dish choices. Meals are served daily while classes are in session and for special occasions such as orientation, athletic camps, and summer programs. Special meals are offered to celebrate selected holidays and to add variety. A brochure about meal plan options and use of the dining hall is available in the Associate Dean of Student Affairs Office (Rita Bole 304) or the dining hall.
To utilize their meal plan, students must present their current student ID. If an ID card is lost, it must be reported immediately to the Director of Public Safety. A charge of $25.00 is assessed for the replacement of the lost card. The dining hall is closed other than for listed service hours. Food may not be taken from the dining hall unless approved by the Food Service Director. Students on a meal plan who must miss a meal for classes, sports, or other college-sanctioned events may obtain a box meal. Notify the staff in the dining hall at least one day before this option is needed.
These regulations have been established to protect the safety of faculty, staff, students and visitors and to control motor vehicle traffic and parking on campus so that college business may be conducted in an orderly manner. Parking or driving a motor vehicle on the LSC campus is a privilege and the owner and/or operator is responsible for seeing that his/her vehicle is neither operated nor parked in violation of these regulations or any regulations/laws of the state.
Every member of the campus community (faculty, staff and students) must register any motor vehicle they park on college property. Registration is done through the Public Safety Office and you are required to register your vehicle yearly (registrations are valid September 1 through August 31st). New, and re-newal of, registrations must be done within the first two weeks of the semester. A vehicle is considered registered only when a current valid parking permit for that vehicle is properly displayed in the lower right side of the windshield (permit colors change yearly to ensure that a vehicle is currently registered). Vehicles on campus without a parking permit may receive a ticket and a fine. Additional information regarding vehicle registration, including if you change vehicles, can be provided by the Public Safety Office via e-mail. Also, their office is open 24/7, year round. This regulation will be enforced at all times.
College parking and traffic restrictions are indicated by these regulations and/or signs, street markings or curb markings. The issuance of a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space. Lack of space is not considered a valid excuse for a violation of the parking regulations.
It is the responsibility of all faculty, staff and students operating a motor vehicle on campus to learn and obey these parking and traffic regulations. Specific questions relating to these regulations may be directed to the Public Safety Office.The registrant is held responsible for any violation involving the registered vehicle (or the person who is responsible for registering the vehicle if it is not registered) when he/she is operating the vehicle or when another individual is using the vehicle. Students are responsible for parking infractions involving cars driven by those coming to visit them on the college campus.
All parking and traffic violations are enforced by the Lyndon State College Public Safety Department. If a fine is not paid or an appeal not filed within seven working days from the date of the violation, the registrant will be liable for the fine. Fines must be paid in the Student Services Office. If the fine is not paid or an appeal is not filed in the seven day period, the fine is automatically added to the student’s account. The following is a list of some of the policies and violations.
The college reserves the right to remove or impound any vehicle found on campus that is parked in a driveway, fire lane, or interior campus, blocking a loading dock or trash dumpster or parked in such a way as to constitute a hazard to vehicular and pedestrian traffic or to the movement or operation of emergency equipment. The owner will be responsible for the costs involved in removing or impounding and storing the vehicle. The paved area around the sculpture north of ATT are designated fire lanes to be clear of vehicles at all times and as interior campus roads. Interior campus is the portion of campus inside of the security gates.
Flagrant violations of college parking and traffic regulations may result in loss of privileges to operate or park a motor vehicle on the campus. Reckless driving may result in a hearing and the hearing officer will determine any penalty. Cases maybe referred to the proper law enforcement agency. Please note that the third ticket you receive may result in towing and loss of parking privileges on campus.
An appeal for any penalty prescribed by these regulations must be made within seven working days following the date of violation by submitting a written appeal to the Lyndon State College Public Safety Office. This can be done by stopping by the Public Safety Office to complete an “Appeal Form” or sending your own written appeal through the inter-office or United States mail. If a fine is not paid or an appeal not filed within seven days from the date of the violation, the registrant will be liable for the penalty, and it will be charged to the student account with the Business Office. All fines and parking tickets must be paid in the Student Services Office.
There will be no use of elevators, two-way radios, cell phones or fire alarms to evacuate the buildings, as these mechanisms could activate a bomb. When an occurrence time is known, the building will be evacuated until at least one hour past the know time, as a safety margin. The Coordinator of Public Information will prepare the appropriate temporary signs for the building(s) affected.
Only trained personnel will do bomb searches. If an occurrence time is not known, no search will be done. If an occurrence time is known and a decision is made to search, the searcher(s) will leave the building at least one hour before the known occurrence time. If the area to be searched is too large to be accomplished in the known time (minus one hour), no search will be done. The threatened building(s) will be locked after evacuation to discourage unauthorized entry. Building lock-up is the responsibility of the Director of Public Safety, the Director of Physical Plant, the Maintenance/Custodial staff and the Residential Life staff.
Residence hall rooms are equipped with connections to the college network. Information on establishing these connections is distributed by Student Affairs and Information Technology Services at orientation and through their offices. All students may use campus Internet and e-mail resources in the 24-hour computer lab, in the Library and Academic Center and in the computer classrooms. All students are required to check their LSC e-mail.
Class cancellations are listed on a recording. Call 626-6767 for a listing of cancellations. Snow-day information is also available at this number.
Every student, whether residing at Lyndon or commuting, has an on-campus mailbox. Along with e-mail, students are also responsible for checking their campus mailbox. Students maintain the same mailbox number during the time they are enrolled at LSC. It is important to use that number on all incoming mail/packages in order to avoid delays in receipt. Your college I.D. is required to retrieve packages.
Equally important is the need for students to keep the mailroom informed of any changes in student status and forwarding address. Remembering these steps will help to insure prompt delivery of your mail.
