Be sure you register for a permit each August. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Parking on campus is by permit only. If you don&#8217;t have a permit, do not park on campus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Become familiar with the locations in which your permit is valid and only park in those locations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure your vehicle is properly linked to your permit. Adding a vehicle to your account under the Vehicle section does not automatically link it. This must be done under the Permit section in the Parking Portal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not park in spaces designated for persons with disabilities unless you have the proper ADA permit\/license plate <em>and<\/em> a current TSU virtual permit. Illegally parking in an ADA space <strong>for any amount of time<\/strong> will result in a $500 fine, per Texas state law. The University strictly follows this law. We are not able to reduce or waive a citation for this type of violation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Read and familiarize yourself with the <a href=\"https:\/\/acrobat.adobe.com\/id\/urn:aaid:sc:us:b3946bb6-a0f6-4e3d-ba5c-29c951ed30bb\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/parking\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/208\/2022\/09\/Parking-Rules-and-Regs-Full-8.2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Parking Rules and Regulations<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Never pull through or back in a diagonal space as this creates a safety issue.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If bringing any sort of trailer\/boat\/attachment to your vehicle, park in Green lot P41 or lot P17. These cannot be parked in other zones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-accordion-item advgb-accordion-item\" style=\"margin-bottom:15px\"><div class=\"advgb-accordion-header\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#4f2d7f;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;border-color:#ffffff;border-radius:2px\"><span class=\"advgb-accordion-header-icon\"><svg fill=\"#4f2d7f\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\"><path fill=\"none\" d=\"M0,0h24v24H0V0z\"><\/path><path d=\"M12,5.83L15.17,9l1.41-1.41L12,3L7.41,7.59L8.83,9L12,5.83z M12,18.17L8.83,15l-1.41,1.41L12,21l4.59-4.59L15.17,15 L12,18.17z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><h2 class=\"advgb-accordion-header-title\" style=\"color:inherit\">Citation Appeal Process<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"advgb-accordion-body\" style=\"border-style:solid !important;border-width:1px !important;border-color:#ffffff !important;border-top:none !important;border-radius:2px !important\">\n<p>The appeal process allows students to appeal a parking citation believed to have been issued in error.

Appeals that are submitted beyond the fourteen-day period will be rejected. All student citations will be added to student bill after the 14 day appeal period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All appeals are reviewed by a third-party committee outside of Parking Services. Our office is not able to overturn their decision or give out their contact information. <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color
