 2. Any vehicle displaying a current permit which has accumulated more than five (5) citations during Semester I and Interim or more than (5) citations during Interim and Semester II, will be booted or towed. The permit will be revoked for the remainder of the year, the vehicle must be removed from campus and the fines must still be paid. Any subsequent parking violation will result in the vehicle being booted and a $75.00 fine imposed to remove the boot. Students involved will be referred to the Dean of Students Office. Faculty and staff so involved will be referred to their respective Vice President.

 3. Any vehicle that does not display a current permit and has accumulated more than three (3) parking citations during the year, will be booted or towed at the owner’s expense. The owner forfeits the opportunity to receive a permit for the remainder of the academic year and must remove the vehicle from campus immediately. Students involved will be referred to the appropriate judicial authority. Faculty and staff so involved will be referred to their respective Vice President.

 4. All parking fines shall be paid at the Parking Office during normal business hours within thirty (30) days. The Parking Office accepts cash, checks or Ole card debits. Credit cards are not accepted. If a student citation is not paid within thirty (30) days of issuance, the citation will be sent to the Business Office and added to the student's comprehensive fee statement. All citations over thirty (30) days old must then be paid at the Business Office. Faculty and staff who fail to pay the citation within thirty (30) days, will be referred to their respective Vice President.

 5. Failure to clear outstanding parking fines shall be grounds to deny future parking permits and withhold official academic transcripts and/or diploma.

 6. The registered permit holder shall be held responsible for all citations written on his/her vehicle regardless of who parked or was operating the vehicle at the time the citation was issued. A vehicle registered in the Parking Office cannot be considered a visitor.

 7. If it becomes necessary to change vehicles, the Parking Office must be advised in advance of the change and a permit must be secured for the new vehicle prior to its arrival on campus. The Parking Office must also be advised if license plates change.
