Towing and Immobilization

Vehicles parked in unauthorized areas (e.g., resident permit in a commuter area; commuter permit in a resident area; student in a designated faculty/staff area; unauthorized parking in "assigned" areas etc.) will be issued a ticket and a TOW WARN1NG for the first violation. If the same vehicle is found in a restricted area within the same semester, it will be ticketed and may be towed from campus at the owner's expense. In lieu of towing, a vehicle immobilization device, commonly known as a "Boot" may be installed. If your vehicle is "booted" you should contact the University Police Department for boot removal. There is a $25 charge for boot removal.
