Parking FAQs

What are the most common causes of receiving a citation on campus?

1. No parking decal – If you decide not to get a decal then you will get a ticket.
2. Parking decal not properly placed on vehicle – You must place the parking decal on the bottom left side of your rear window (outside – not inside) or on the bottom left side of your bumper.
3. Parking in a space incorrectly – You must not back into or pull all the way thru into a parking space. The rear of your car must be facing the parking lane at all times.

What is the worst that could happen if I do not pay my citations?

1. On the third ticket, the University Police department wheel locks your vehicle.
2. All fines must be paid before re-enrollment, before the release of a student’s transcript or before the awarding of a diploma.

How do I appeal a ticket?
To appeal a ticket come to the Parking Administration Office in the Student Center – East Wing, Room 201 and complete a Parking Appeals Form. The form will be forwarded to an Appeals committee made up of students, faculty, and staff. They will decide if your reason is valid. If so, the ticket will be removed from your student account. Please allow two weeks for the appeals process.
