Vehicles should be parked within stalls that are marked. Otherwise, a space should be sought within another authorized parking lot. The Main  Lot 7 always has space to accommodate vehicles.

Unless a Guaranteed Permit is purchased, you are not guaranteed to find a space where you want when you want it.

The Parking Department reserve s the right to close any parking area. Notification will be made by e-mail. Vehicles parked within a closed area are subject to ticketing and/or towing.

Please make sure your vehicle is locked and valuable items are not visible.

The fact that a person parks in violation and does not receive a citation does not mean that parking rules are not in effect, or that a violation did not occur.

 

Notes left on vehicles to avoid citations are not acceptable. Come to the Parking office to resolve the issue and avoid ticketing.


The registrant of a vehicle is responsible for all violations identified with that vehicle, even when that person is not driving. If the citation remains unanswered further penalties will be assessed.
