Regulations are enforced 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, meaning citations may be issued at any time.
How long do I have to pay?
Citations must be paid within 15 calendar days from the date they are issued, unless appealed.
What will happen if I do not pay my citation?
Failure to pay or appeal citations within 15 calendar days may result in the fee amount being sent to your student account if you are a student. Faculty or staff may be subject to collections. Vehicles with three or more unpaid citations are subject to towing.
What happens if my car is towed?
Towed vehicles are taken to the tow lot on campus until all citations are paid. An additional $125 tow fee will be added to your total fee, and the individual retrieving the vehicle will be responsible for this fee.
What causes my vehicle to be towed?
Three unpaid citations, as well as violations such as parking in a service area, fire lane, a reserved space, or a disability space without a valid disability placard, or creating a safety hazard by obstructing traffic, can result in towing.
If I receive a parking citation, can I let my parents, spouse, or friends communicate on my behalf with Parking & Transportation Services and University Officials?
According to confidentiality laws, only the student who has been issued the citation can communicate with Parking & Transportation Services and other University officials.
How do I appeal a parking citation?
Appeals can be completed online through the Manage Acct Tab and Appeal Citations section of the Vanderbilt Parking website. Once on the page, you can follow the prompts and submit your citation.
Please note that appeals must be submitted within 15 days of citation issuance. Each appeal will be reviewed by the Parking Appeals Committee to determine an appeal decision. All decisions of the Parking Citations Appeals Committee are final.
