Crime Prevention

Villanova University is concerned about the safety and welfare of its students, faculty and staff, and visitors, and is committed to providing a safe and secure environment. Because no campus is isolated from crime, we are providing the following information designed to help protect persons on the campus.

In light of the tragic happenings at Virginia Tech on April 16, 2007, it is important that you understand the procedures Villanova University has in place and how we proceed and respond in the case of an emergency on campus.

Parking Information

Parking Information

In an effort to provide our community with adequate parking and safe traffic conditions, it is the policy of Villanova University that junior and senior resident students (by academic year) and all commuting students are eligible to purchase a permit to park on campus. The University reserves the right to assign students to park in designated lots. While we work towards providing close, convenient parking, there may be instances when students are assigned to park in a lot that is not near their residence hall or classroom building.
