from the vehicle. If the restraint is not removed within 24 hours, the vehicle will be towed at
the owner's expense. Excessive parking violations may also result in disciplinary charges
and possible loss of parking privileges on campus.

Blocking Driveway or Access |
|
Parking on Sidewalk or Grass |
Parking in Handicap Area |
- The registrant is responsible for all violations regardless of who is operating the vehicle at the time the violation occurs.
- Having four-way flashers on does not make it acceptable to park in a restricted area (service vehicle, fire lane, handicap, etc.)
- Every attempt is made to maintain parking signs, but vehicle operators are expected to park appropriately, even in the absence of signs.
Appeals
If the recipient of a ticket believes that it was issued in error, the recipient can file an appeal
to have the ticket voided. Appeals must be filed within seven calendar days of the infraction
date. Appeals are available on the Intranet under Physical Plant Online Forms. They are
also available in the Physical Plant office.
Appeals filed after seven calendar days will not be accepted, and the fine must be paid at
the Office of Business Affairs.
