Vehicle Booting Policy
For repeated violations, campus parking privileges may be denied for the balance of the semester or for one year.
If at the time a citation is issued, the vehicle has had previous tickets for an unregistered vehicle or five or more tickets, then the vehicle may be towed or immobilized, and campus parking privileges may be denied for the balance of the year.
If a student receives three or more citations, including for non-registration, the Office of Student Life may be consulted concerning disciplinary sanctions.
The boot may be used in the following situations:
-
When any vehicle has received four or more non-registered vehicle citations and the student has neglected to contact Campus Public Safety
- Removal of the boot will occur when the student comes into Campus Public Safety office and completes the vehicle registration process. The student must affix the permit to the vehicle before the boot will be removed. The last offense for the non-registered vehicle will be dropped and the student will only be charged the non-refundable fee of $100 for the cost of the permit.
- Any other fines for the non-registered vehicle will remain unappealable.
- If the owner of the vehicle does not come to the Campus Public Safety office and register within 48 hours of immobilization, the non-action will be cause for the vehicle to be towed at the owner's expense. We will consider the vehicle abandoned
-
When any vehicle has received five citations or more and the student has made no attempt to respond to the citations or ask for clarification from Campus Public Safety
- Removal of the boot will occur when the student signs an agreement stating they will come in to talk with the director of Campus Public Safety within seven days.
- If the owner of the vehicle does not come to the Campus Public Safety office and sign the agreement or discuss their parking offenses within 48 hours of immobilization, the non-action will be cause for the vehicle to be towed at the owner's expense. We will consider the vehicle abandoned.
- If violations continue after the meeting, parking privileges may be revoked
- Towing the vehicle may occur if the vehicle is found in violation of the university's parking policies
