Here is our escalation policy: The first four citations issued in an academic year (Fall and Spring Semester) will be issued at face value; Customers exceeding 4 citations in the academic year will be considered “habitual offenders” and will incur additional charges and/or actions: Citation five (5) and six (6) will increase $50. Citations seven (7) through nine (9) will increase $75 and may be booted. A person issued ten (10) or more citations will incur a fine increase of $75 and their vehicle will be towed. Summer, between Spring graduation and August 1st, will accumulate separately.
