Violations and Penalties

The registrant of a motor vehicle is responsible for all parking citations issued against the vehicle.

Moving violations will be charged to the operator of the vehicle.

Tickets may be carried over from semester to semester within a school year if the tickets cannot be billed to an account because of no permit or falsified information.
