    • Any bicycle considered abandoned or improperly parked or stored may be impounded at the owner's expense. Bikes that may be considered abandoned are ones that have been left in bike racks or other areas for extensive periods of time without evidence of use. Bikes may not be left in bikes racks over the summer break unless you are residing or working on campus and have tagged your bicycle so it does not become part of the summer bicycle round up. The college is not responsible for any incidental damages that may occur to bicycles or locks during the impoundment process.
    • If a registered bicycle is impounded, the owner will be notified to pick up the bicycle. To gain release of any bicycle that has been impounded, the owner must pay a fee of $25.00 and sign the impound release form at the Office of Residence Life during business hours. Impounded bicycles without registration stickers must also be registered prior to release. Fees collected from impoundment will be used for additional bicycle racks and/or covered bicycle storage areas.
    • Impounded bicycles will be stored for a period not to exceed 90 days. After 90 days all unclaimed bicycles will be disposed.

  • Locating your bike's serial number 
    • The majority of serial numbers are located under the bottom bracket where the two pedal cranks meet. Simply turn your bike upside down and record the number. If the serial number is not there, then check places like the headset at the front of the bike or the rear stays. The diagram below indicates the five most common serial number locations.
