(1) Violations and fines. Parking violations are processed by the university. Fines must be paid at the parking office or at other authorized locations by mail, or from the university's parking website. Schedules for parking violations, fines, and sanctions are posted in the public area of the parking office and on the university's parking website.
(2) Reduction of fines. Internal policies regarding disposition of parking tickets may be established on approval of the chancellor or designee whose responsibilities include supervision of the parking office.
(3) Inoperable vehicles. It is the owner's responsibility to immediately contact the parking office in the event that the owner's vehicle becomes inoperable when the vehicle is present on campus.
(4) Payment of parking fines.
(a) All parking fines are due upon issuance of a parking ticket. Thirty days after date of issuance of a parking ticket, a late fee is added to all unpaid parking fines. For example, a parking ticket issued on May 1st is assessed a late fee on May 31st.
(b) Failure to pay the fine and fee assessed for any violation results in referral to the university controller's office for internal collection.
(c) Account balances not paid to the university voluntarily may be forwarded to an external collections agency and are subject to additional collection fees of up to fifty percent, attorney's fees, and court costs when necessary.
(d) Where collection efforts are unsuccessful, the controller or designee may notify the registrar to refrain from issuing student transcripts or to withhold permission to reenroll for a subsequent term until outstanding fines and fees are paid.
(e) The procedures discussed above are not exclusive, however, and failure by anyone to pay fines and fees may also lead to towing or use of the vehicle immobilization device described in these regulations. Nor are the procedures discussed above a precondition to towing or use of the vehicle immobilization device.
(5) Failure to pay fines. Failure to pay a fine or comply with other penalties assessed pursuant to these regulations, and exhausting or failing to exercise appeals provided for in these regulations, may result in the inability to renew a vehicle license through the state pursuant to RCW
46.16.216.
