Tow/Impound Fees

If a vehicle is towed it will not be returned to the owner until all fines are paid in full including the tow and impound fee. NDSCS Police Department personnel must be provided with a receipt from the towing company showing payment in full. A hold will also be placed on the student account until all fines are paid in full. No new permits will be sold to anyone until all unpaid fines are paid in full. For employee collections the President or appropriate Vice President will also be notified.

Auto Boot/Immobilization

Auto booting is a means of controlling and decreasing the number of habitual parking violators on the NDSCS campus. The auto boot attaches to the front or rear tire preventing the movement of the vehicle. The auto boot will be applied to a vehicle after the receipt of the third unpaid parking violation. A brightly colored warning sticker will be applied to the driver side window, alerting the owner that the auto boot has been applied. If the owner has not contacted the NDSCS Police Department to have the boot removed within 3 business days, the vehicle will be towed. The owner will be responsible for paying the towing charge, impound fee and boot removal fee.

The auto boot will be removed after all NDSCS parking fees are paid in full (parking fines and auto boot removal fee of $40) or a satisfactory payment agreement is made with the NDSCS Police Department Supervisor. Tampering with, damaging, or removing the parking boot is punishable criminally under North Dakota Century Code 12.1-21-05 (Criminal Mischief).

Extensive Vehicle Repairs

No motor vehicle shall be parked or left standing in any parking facility in order that extensive repairs may be undertaken on it, when such repairs cause the vehicle to remain in the parking lot for more than 72 consecutive hours. Emergency repairs of short duration are acceptable.

In cases of hardship, a special permit may be obtained upon approval by the NDSCS Police Department.

Parking Regulations

Any additions or changes to the regulations during the academic year will be sent out through all-campus email to your NDSCS email account. An all-campus voice mail message may also be given, and any other method deemed appropriate to reach the greatest number of people.
