Penalties and Enforcement
Fines for violations of parking regulations on campus are $20. Fines for parking in designated handicapped parking areas are $100.
Appeals on parking violations must be brought to the Office of Emergency Management within three school days of their receipt.
Unpaid violations will result in the University placing a hold on transcripts until fines are paid. Any vehicles with unpaid violations or continued violations (3 or more) may result in booting or towing of the vehicle from the campus at the owner’s expense.
If the vehicle is towed it will not be returned to the owner until all fines are paid in full including the tow and impound fee. A hold will also be placed on the student account until all fines are paid in full.
If a vehicle is booted (auto boot attaches to the front or rear tire preventing the moving of the vehicle) the boot will not be removed until all parking fines are paid in full.
An auto boot will be applied to a vehicle after the 3rd unpaid parking violation has been issued. A brightly colored warning sticker will be affixed to the driver side window, alerting the owner that an auto boot has been applied. If the owner of the vehicle has not contacted DSU Office of Emergency Management to have the boot removed within 3 business days, the vehicle will be towed.
Tampering with, damaging or removing the parking boot is punishable criminally under North Dakota Century Code 12.1-21-05, Criminal Mischief.
The auto boot will be removed provided all fines are paid in full and a receipt showing payment in full or a satisfactory payment agreement is made with the Office of Emergency Management.
Vehicles in No Parking Zones including Fire Lanes are subject to towing without notice. The individual assumes all costs of towing.
