DELINQUENT FINES: A student who has appealed a citation that is denied and then fails to pay the citation fee may be placed on financial suspension. Financial suspension means no transcripts or records are issued, no diplomas are released, and no registrations are permitted until outstanding obligations have been paid in full.
COLLECTIONS AND TAX SET-OFF: Parking fines outstanding for forty-five (45) days or longer will be referred to collections. Collection fees may be as much as one-third of the balance due the University. Accounts chargeable to a resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia will also be reported to the Virginia Department of Taxation, Division of Set-Off Debt Collection. The balance of the unpaid account will be deducted from the individual’s Virginia State income tax refund. The amount deducted will be forwarded to UMW, an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
ALTERING AND COUNTERFEIT DECALS/PASSES: Any alteration of a parking decal/pass subjects the vehicle and owner to citation and fine and may also subject them to towing or impounding at the owner’s risk and expense. Issues of counterfeiting will be reported to Administration for judicial review as well as appropriate criminal processing.
FIRE LANE & BLOCKING EGRESS AND/OR INGRESS: Vehicles are not permitted to park in fire lanes (outlined by yellow lines) at any time. Any vehicle which blocks, impedes, or restricts another vehicles ability of egress or ingress, as a result of violating a parking regulation, is subject to towing, at owner’s risk and expense, without notice. In addition, citation(s) and fine(s) may be imposed.
VEHICLE AUTHORIZATION: The purchase, acceptance and use of any decal/parking permit on UMW property conveys authorization to the UMW Parking Management, UMW Police, and UMW Facilities Services to relocate any vehicle, by means of towing, to another parking space or lot when deemed necessary. The relocated vehicle will be moved to a space on the same property/campus. When/if this cannot be accommodated, the vehicle will be moved to the UMW Facilities Services lot located off Hanover Street behind the Battlegrounds Athletic Complex.
If a vehicle is to be towed due to the owner parking in violation of the UMW Parking Regulations, the vehicle operator/owner will be responsible for assessed fines and towing fees. If there are questions about a towed vehicle please contact the Communication Center, 540-654-1025.
