Bicycle & Scooter Registration

The Valparaiso University Parking Office requires that all bicycles/scooters on campus be registered.  To receive a registration sticker, bicycle/scooter owners will need to submit the registration form provided below. In the event that your bicycle/scooter is lost or stolen, the Valparaiso University Police Department can file a report that may help aid in the recovery of your property.

There is no registration fee for registering bicycles/scooters on campus.  When not in use, bicycles/scooters must be placed in a designated bicycle rack, and it is recommended the bicycle/scooter be locked and secured.

    Valparaiso University offers a storage program for owners of bicycles and scooters during the winter months as well as over the summer.  Bicycles and scooters will be stored at the Fitness Center.

    Students/faculty/staff will check-in their bicycle/scooter ahead of the winter and then check-out their bicycle/scooter following spring break.  The same process applies for checking these items in prior to the summer and then out upon returning to campus in August.  The check-in/out process takes place during the dates/times listed below:
