Parking Citations

Vehicles will be towed at the owner's expense due to one of the following conditions:

  • Parking in a 24 HR Reserved Numbered Space (at space owner's request)
  • Outstanding citation total of two or more
  • Outstanding balance of $100 or more
  • Outstanding citation over 90 days old
  • Obstructing a roadway or interfering with the movement of vehicular or pedestrian traffic
  • Blocking a sidewalk, ramp, loading dock, entrance, exit, fire lane or aisle

You may make partial payment on your citation but it will remain active until paid in full.

You must pay your citations before picking up your car. See the question about "Why would my car be towed?" to see the conditions under which a vehicle will be towed.

Purchasing your permit brings you into compliance so you will not be cited for "No Permit" as long as the receipt and eventually the permit are properly displayed. You are still liable to be towed as you have more than 2 outstanding citations.

The citations will remain valid until paid. Failing to satisfy this debt will result in a hold being placed on your grades and transcripts, and this will also prevent you from registering for future classes. These outstanding citations will also accumulate late fees if not paid.
