Tickets, Additional Decals, Fines and Penalties

CPTC students, faculty and staff are issued one free parking permit (decal). Additional permits (decals) are $5.00 each. Students obtaining a parking permit (decal) after the first week of their college semester will be charged $5.00.

 A parking ticket may be issued to those who violate the above rules. Violations will result in fines as described below:

$15.00 Vehicle not displaying a current parking decal
$5.00 Decal not displayed in correct location
$10.00 Parking in fire lane or blocking driveway
$5.00 Parking in VISITOR, RESERVED, or unpaved areas
$50.00 Parking in a HANDICAPPED space without a permit

Paying Fines

  1. Fines must be paid at the cashier’s office within 14 calendar days from the date a ticket was issued, or an additional $5 fine per violation will be imposed.
  2. Continual violations will result in towing of the vehicle at the owner’s expense and revocation of parking privileges.
  3. Fines must be paid by the end of each semester. Unpaid fines will result in the student’s records being placed on HOLD. Students on HOLD are not allowed to receive grades or transcripts, participate in graduation exercises, or register for the next term.
  4. Written appeals for parking citations should be addressed to the Campus Police Chief within 3 business days of the violation. Appeal forms may be obtained from Student Affairs, returned to Student Affairs upon completion and then forwarded to the CPTC Police Chief.
