Strict enforcement of parking regulations begins on the first day of classes each semester.
Parking Services
The Parking Services office is managed by a civilian parking hearings officer who is charged with maintaining the records of parking violations and collecting payments from parking violators. The parking clerk schedules hearings for contested parking violations; a committee makes the final determination in such matters. Read more about parking violations and fines in Parking Regulations.
