Rules and Regulations

Parking Services utilizes License Plate Recognition technology. It is important that license plates are clearly visible when parking attendants patrol the area. All individuals parking on campus must either park head-in in their designated space or purchase a front license plate from the Parking Services Office for $6.

If you receive a citation, it must be paid within 14 days to avoid an additional late fee of $10. Please note that if you accumulate five or more citations totaling $200 or more, your vehicle may be subject to a wheel lock.

Parking in restricted areas is strictly prohibited and can result in significant fines. The penalties are as follows: parking in a fire lane incurs a fine of $154; parking in an accessible stall results in a fine of $193; and parking in a reserved stall carries a fine of $55. Additionally, vehicles may be subject to impoundment or towing. Citations are the responsibility of the permit holder or the registered owner of the vehicle.
