All motor vehicles that are to be parked on campus by students, faculty, and staff must be registered with the ABAC Police and display a current parking decal by the end of the first week of each semester.

Temporary permits are issued by the ABAC Police when faculty, staff and students are driving a vehicle temporarily. These permits are free and can be picked up at the police department in Evans Hall.

Regulations are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Violators will be issued a citation and may be towed, depending on the offense. Vehicles may be towed or booted at the owner’s expense after receiving four citations or for violations as noted in the Regulations. ABAC Police have been charged with protecting the rights of the permit holders. Therefore, citations are issued to any vehicle parked in violation of the Parking Regulations. Parking enforcement ensures that students and staff will have a reasonable opportunity for parking and that individuals without appropriate authority or who have parked in an inappropriate area will be cited.

Unpaid citations can result in student financial holds preventing students from receiving grades, refunds, official transcripts, or graduating.

May be made in person at the Cashier’s window, located on the first floor of the Carlton Center, or through your Banner account by clicking here.

Any student issued a citation may file their appeal of the citation by completing the appeal form by clicking this link (appeal link) within 7 days of receiving the citation.  Citations shall be appealed through the Student Traffic Court which meets every Thursday at 4 PM (excluding holidays). Faculty and staff citations shall be appealed through the Chief of Police by email.  Common reasons for denial of appeal:

• “I admit I was illegally parked, but I was only gone a few minutes”
• “I knew it was a no-parking zone, but cars park there all the time and never get ticketed”
• “I didn’t know I couldn’t park there”
• “I was ill and had to use the restroom”

You will need to know the following to view/appeal a Ticket/Citation:

• Your User ID is the same as your ABAC ID (918######)
• You will also need to know your Ticket/Citation Number.
• When you requested a permit you agreed to the Parking Rules and Regulations
