The purpose of the AIMS Student Vehicle Policy is to inform students and their parents of the procedures and rules which must be followed if a student wishes to use a car or motorcycle to travel to school or wishes to travel to school as a passenger of another student authorized to drive. The use of a car by a student is considered a privilege, not a right. If the rules are infringed, this privilege will be withdrawn by the AIMS Administrative Council who oversees the implementation of the policy.
Rules pertaining to students driving a vehicle to and from school:
- Students must have a current driver’s license.
- Students must observe extreme caution when driving their vehicle in the vicinity of AIMS. This is especially important when students are arriving and departing from school.
- Vehicles driven to AIMS must remain parked in the AIMS parking lot during school hours the exception of students of Asia-Pacific International University (AIU) workers who have lunch dismissal passes signed by parents to travel to the AIU campus for the lunch meal.
- Only students with vehicles registered with AIU and having an AIU sticker will be permitted to enter or exit the university campus unless they receive a visitor’s pass at the gate. A visitor’s pass will be exchanged for the student’s driving license.
- Only students registered as passengers (other than siblings of the student driver) may ride in a vehicle driven by an authorized student driver.
- Students may not, under any circumstance, loan vehicles to other students.
- An AIMS car or motorcycle sticker and a Registration to Travel as a Passenger Permit for student-passengers are only valid for one year and permission must be obtained each year.
Failure to observe any of these rules will result in withdrawal of permission to drive a vehicle to AIMS.
AIMS accepts no responsibility and is not liable for loss or damage to students’ vehicles or their contents while they are on the AIMS campus.
The Vehicle Policy aligns with the ESLGs: Self-Manager, Caring Citizen.
