STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY If the student has the same family name or home address as the registered owner of a vehicle for which a Violation Notice has been issued, the Violation Notice and accompanying violation charges will be recorded in the student’s name. Unpaid charges for parking violations are recorded in either: •  the name of the person who previously purchased a parking permit; or •  the name of the purchaser of the permit displayed; or •  the name of the person who has previously paid violation charges on the vehicle; or •  the name of the owner or driver. Appeals of Violation Notices or Impounds A Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) appointed by the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention helps assure fairness in the issuance of parking Violation Notices and vehicle impounds. The findings of the SJC are final. A person who receives a Violation Notice, or whose vehicle has been impounded, may request an appeal. The appeal is handled through the Student Government Association (SGA). If the Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) finds a vehicle was improperly impounded, the Violation Notice/Citation and towing/impounding expenses incurred by the individual whose vehicle was impounded will be reimbursed by the College. All requests for appeal must be filed within 10 working days from the issuance of the Violation Notice. The Violation Notice or a copy of the notice must be attached to the appeal form. A person who fails to file the request within this time period waives the right to appeal. Appeals for which ten-day deadline falls within the winter break shall carry over into the beginning of the spring semester. The appeals committee may summon the individual who issued the Violation Notice or performed the vehicle impound if he/she is available to assist the committee. All appeals will be heard within 15 working days of the date an appeal is requested. Appeals for which the 15-working-day deadline falls within the winter break shall carry over into the beginning of the spring semester.

Bicycle, Motorcycle, Motor Scooter and Moped Parking Regulations In accordance with Texas law, operators of bicycles, motorcycles, motor scooters and mopeds shall be granted all the rights and shall be subject to all the laws and duties applicable to the driver of a motor vehicle while on any DMC campus. Parking of bicycles must be restricted to designated areas or bicycles racks. Parking of motorcycles, motor scooters, or mopeds must be restricted to areas or spaces marked or designated for these types of vehicles. Any of these vehicles found parked illegally and creating a potential safety hazard may be impounded or cited.

Skateboarding Skateboarding is hazardous to the much larger volume of pedestrian traffic and is prohibited on the Del Mar College campus and parking lots.
