Campus Safety

Automobiles

Due to the small size of the campus, and the limited parking available, first year students are not eligible to have a vehicle and are prohibited from purchasing a permit. All students, staff, and faculty are encouraged to walk to and from class and other activities. All MMA faculty, staff and students who are eligible to park their vehicle on campus, at the Waterfront or in the Penobscot lot during the academic year must register their vehicle and properly display a current MMA parking permit at all times. Individuals may obtain more information and register for permits online at http://mainemaritime.edu/campus-safety/parking-management/.  Permits may be picked up at Campus Safety (Windlass House), after the permit has been ordered. Permits are issued on a first-come, first-serve basis. 

Security

All campus members are responsible for the security of our campus and should not prop any door open at any time, nor allow others entry to secured spaces. Campus members should make sure windows are closed and locked when rooms are unoccupied. Most exterior doors are locked 24 hours a day and are accessible through card scan. Overnight guests must be signed in at the front desk of Curtis Hall. Contractors must sign in at Campus Safety prior to beginning work. Your cooperation improves security for all.
