Below you can find Campus Parking Rules and Regulations on subjects like Permits, Parking, Electric Vehicle Stalls, Appeals, and Other Considerations. These rules and regulations are also available as a downloadable PDF:
Section 1: Permits
Section 2: Parking
Section 3: Citations
Ideally, all drivers would always display the proper parking credentials and only park in authorized stalls. To maximize parking availability for those drivers who buy permits, we use citations as our primary enforcement tool. Our enforcement philosophy seeks to drive compliance with parking rules while recognizing that everyone makes mistakes. In keeping with this approach, the fine for the first minor violation each academic year is $0. However, for drivers who continue to violate the rules, the fines are increasingly punitive to deter further offenses. In extreme cases, nuisance violators will be towed off campus at the owner’s expense.
Citation Level | Citations Type | Examples | Amount |
Minor Violations | No Valid Permit | Not displaying a current valid permit or improper display | 1st offense: $0 |
Unauthorized Area | No parking zone, grass, sidewalk, unauthorized lot | ||
Moderate Violations | Fire Lane or Drive Lane | Parked in a fire lane or a drive lane. Fire lanes are marked with signage and/or a red curb. Drive lanes will not necessarily be marked with “no parking” signs in areas that are clearly drive lanes. | 1st offense: $50 |
Reserved Stall | Dean’s stall, university vehicle only, Jesuit, residence life, visitor stalls not covered by a bag, any other specifically signed parking stalls. | ||
Major Violations | Handicap | Failure to properly display a state-issued handicap placard, including the Handicap loading zones | 1st offense: $150 |
Fraudulent or Stolen Permit | Any attempt to reproduce a permit or decal, attempt to alter or display a permit or decal in a deceitful manner, or to use a permit reported as lost or stolen | $500 Referral to Human Resources or Student Conduct | |
Additional Violations | False Pretense | Placing an old citation on windshield to avoid citation or other deceitful acts to avoid identification or citation | $50 |
Boot Fee | Used to identify an unregistered vehicle’s owner/driver | $50 | |
Tow Warning | Nuisance violators (those who have received 5 or more citations in an academic year) will receive a Tow Warning and will be subject to towing upon next violation without further notice; cost of the tow and impound to be paid by the owner/driver | $0

Banned | Parking on campus after losing campus parking privileges due to excessive citations, cost of tow and impound paid by the owner/driver | $100 Referral to Human Resources or Student Conduct |
