Why did I get the ticket when my car was disabled? A: You must notify the University Police Department if you experience vehicle problems. Q: Why did I receive a ticket while other vehicles around me were not ticketed? A: Vehicles often park for short periods of time and then leave the area. Often registered parkers will park their vehicle after the officer leaves the area. Q: I was parked on the mall in front of the chapel in order to go to mass. Why did I get a parking ticket when the signs say Chapel Visitors and Disabled Parking? A: As a student or and employee you are not considered a visitor to the University or the Chapel, therefore you are not allowed to park along the mall to attend mass or to visit the chapel. Q: I was parked behind my residence hall to unload my car after returning to campus and the 15 minute loading and unloading space was taken. Why did I receive a parking ticket when I was only there for 10 minutes? A: Due to not parking in the marked loading and unloading spot. If that space is occupied, you need to call University Police and let them know what you are doing. |
