Vehicle Registration and Parking

The motor vehicle registration and parking program at Luther College is designed to provide:

  • A maximum parking area consistent with the maintenance of the natural beauty of the campus
  • The use of available parking space in the best interests of the whole college
  • The achievement of as equitable an arrangement as possible for allocating parking privileges to students on the basis of residence in relation to distance from the campus

If you have a vehicle and operate it within Decorah, you must register it. Please complete the appropriate Vehicle Registration Form and submit it to the Welcome Center/Information as soon as you bring the car to campus.
