Violations and Fines

Violations

Parking regulations are internal administrative regulations and do not replace state laws or municipal ordinances.

Failure to pay citations will result in the revocation of parking privileges. Once parking privileges are revoked vehicles parked on university property will be towed. Vehicles will also be towed whenever six unpaid tickets are accumulated. Vehicles parked in disabled spaces without a proper disabled permit or license plate, or parked in other no parking zones are subject to tow on the first offense.

The person in whose name a permit is issued is responsible for all violations received on any car displaying that permit.
