When you’re packing, keep in mind that all of your belongings should be able to fit on your side of the room. Also, the College cannot be held liable for any lost or stolen items, so use your discretion when you decide what to bring. If you are bringing valuables on campus, make sure they are covered under your parents’ homeowner’s policy, or you may want to purchase renter’s insurance or personal property insurance.

The College campus has cell phone service from most national carriers.

Bicycles, Skis, and Snowboards

There are no storage facilities for large items such as skis, bicycles, etc. These items are allowed on campus, but they must be kept in your room. There are also outdoor bike racks available.

Cars on Campus

Landmark College allows students to bring a car to campus. You must register your car with Campus Safety and abide by Landmark College parking regulations as well as the policies outlined in the Student Handbook.

Registering your vehicle

All vehicles on Landmark College property, including motorcycles, ATVs, and snowmobiles, must be registered with Campus Safety within 24 hours of the vehicle’s arrival on campus. Campus Safety will have a table at New Student Registration where you can complete this step. Otherwise, stop by the Campus Safety Office on the ground floor of Davis or contact them at 802-387-6899 (from an off-campus phone) or 6899 (from a campus phone) to set up a time. You will need:

  • Valid registration
  • Valid license
  • Proof of insurance
  • Vehicle registration form that will be provided to you by Campus Safety.

After submitting all of the above with a car registration form, you will receive a parking permit to put on the windshield that tells you where you’re allowed to park.
