海角社区

Starting in the 2025-26 academic year, first-year students at 海角社区 will not be permitted to bring cars to campus. Exceptions will be made for students who have documented accommodations through Student Accessibility Services (SAS). For any questions or concerns, please听reach out to SAS directly.

Rest assured, first-year students don't need a car on campus! JCU offers convenient transportation options, including shuttle service to popular shopping and dining locations, including Target, Whole Foods, and the Van Aken District. Rideshare options and Cleveland鈥檚 RTA (buses and trains) are also available, and JCU frequently hosts student events with free transportation provided.

Sophomores park in nearby off-site lots with shuttle access, while juniors, seniors, graduate students, and commuters can purchase passes to park on campus.

The 海角社区 Police Department (JCUPD) is primarily responsible for ensuring the safety of all persons living, working, or visiting the University. This requires considerable attention to regulating the flow of traffic and the appropriate use of parking. We have developed rules to help govern traffic and parking on University property. Adherence to these rules will facilitate the safe and efficient use of parking areas and roadways around campus.

Please read our regulations carefully. If you have questions, please email parking@jcu.edu or call the JCU Parking Office at 216-397-2277, Monday-Friday from 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. or call the JCU Police Department at 216-397-1234 after hours.

Effective Fall 2024, the Notre Dame Lot underwent enhanced security measures to ensure the continued safety and well-being of all users. These improvements include the installation of surveillance cameras throughout the lot, as well as the presence of an on-site security guard during overnight hours.

Security Details:

  • Surveillance Cameras: Installed and operational throughout the lot.

  • On-Site Security Guard: Present from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., daily.

These changes are part of our ongoing commitment to campus safety and to providing a secure environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
