Consequences for Unpaid Tickets

Unpaid tickets and late fees will result in a university hold barring students from:

• Receiving transcripts
• Parking permission refunds – ticket and late fee amounts will be deducted
• Graduation
• Unpaid tickets will eventually be sent to a collection agency to ensure payment

Cars will be towed or immobilized, at owner's expense, if the total for all citations and late fees exceeds $500.00.

The customer is responsible for any fees imposed by the tow company.
