Tow-away Policy

Parking Services enforcement officers, University police officers or residence hall directors are authorized to have a vehicle towed away if it is found to violate any posted tow-away zones, such as impeding traffic; is blocking another vehicle; or is parking on the lawn, mall or sidewalk. Repeat violations and/or nonpayment of parking citations may also result in impounding the vehicle involved or removing it from University owned or operated property at the owner's expense.

During a snow emergency, vehicles parked in a commuter lot after midnight will be ticketed and towed to allow snow removal.

If your vehicle is towed, contact the Parking Services office for the location of the impounding agent. The driver of a towed vehicle will be responsible for the outstanding balance on the account and the towing and storage expenses. The University is not responsible for any damage incurred due to towing. Towed vehicles will be released when all outstanding citations, towing charges and storage fees have been paid.

Abandoned or impounded vehicles will be disposed after 60 days and notification of the owner, unless the owner contacts the Parking Services office and makes provisions to release the vehicle and pay all outstanding fines and expenses.
