Violations & Penalties

In the interest of providing adequate parking for all University constituents, parking regulations will be vigorously enforced.

A citation is the responsibility of the person in whose name the permit is registered with the Office of Safety and Security. Motor vehicle regulations shall also apply to the spouse and dependents of the registrant.

Any person feeling that his or her vehicle has been unjustly ticketed may appeal.  Appeal forms may be obtained in the Office of Safety and Security.  Appeal of citations must be made in writing to the Director of Safety and Security. Appeals must be received within ten(10) days after the issuance of the ticket or the right to appeal is forfeited.  If your appeal is denied, and further appeal is requested, your original appeal form will be forwarded to the Parking Citation Appeals Board for further consideration.

Habitual Parking Offender - Any student, University employee, or University related employee who receives 10 citations during a permit year may be classified as a Habitual Parking Offender.  The Director of Safety and Security will make the initial determination to classify an individual as a habitual parking offender. The Director will send a letter  to the individual advising them of the classification and that their driving and parking privileges have been revoked. They will be required to surrender their parking permit to the Office of Safety and Security and will be advised their vehicle will be towed from campus each time it is found on campus during the revocation period. The period of revocation will be, at a minimum,  the remainder of the permit year.

Appeal of a classification as "Habitual Parking Offender" may be made, in writing, within five days of receipt of the letter of notification. The appeal must be submitted to the Director of Safety and Security and will be forwarded to the Parking Citation Appeals Board for further review.

Fines assessed against the student will be charged to the student's account if not paid by the due date indicated on the bill sent by the Office of Safety and Security. Unpaid traffic citations may have an effect on the students ability to register for the next semester. Grade transcripts will not be issued until outstanding fines are either paid or removed from the student's account.

Fines assessed against employees will be referred to the Office of Fiscal Affairs and Administration if not paid by the due date indicated on the bill sent by the Office of Safety and Security.

Towing Policy - Vehicles may be removed from campus properties under the following circumstances; repeated violations of parking regulations; blocking other vehicles; and parking in some restricted areas, i.e., no parking zones, loading zones, yellow curbs, outside stall lines or on sidewalks/grass.

Upon withdrawal, suspension, or expulsion from school or resignation or termination of employment, parking permits must be returned to the Office of Safety and Security. There are no refunds.

The University of Evansville polices the parking areas but assumes no financial responsibility for the vehicles or their contents while parked on the campus parking lots.

The University of Evansville reserves the right to change regulations as necessary.
