The hold will prohibit the student from registering for further classes and will prohibit the release of transcripts to any other institution.

A parking ticket may be appealed by paying the fine within 96 hours at the Parking Office and then contacting the Office of Student Services & Engagement. All appeals must be accompanied by a receipt from the parking office. 

A deposit box for parking tickets is located outside the Parking Office. Please use the parking ticket deposit box or mail your check or money order in the ticket envelope. Please do not send cash. Your check or money order is your receipt unless you require one for filing an appeal.

A student receiving five or more parking violations in one semester will be declared a habitual offender. Habitual offenders, in addition to having a hold placed on their student records, may also have all parking privileges revoked for a period of 15 class weeks. The student may be required to turn over to the Parking Office all parking permits issued for all registered vehicles.
