Except as noted above, violation notices will be issued in cases where traffic can be rerouted or vehicle operators can be immediately located to move their vehicle. In all other cases, vehicles will be towed and ticketed. The fine rate is set by the College for administrative violations. However, citations issued by the Corpus Christi Police Department and/or Corpus Christi Fire Department will result in fines decreed by the courts. Multiple violations can be alleged on the same Violation Notice. Charges will be assessed for each violation. Violation Notice Payments Payments must be made within 30 days of the date the Violation Notice was issued. Payments may be made at the Business Office, Harvin Student Center at Del Mar College East or the Coleman Center at Del Mar College West during business hours. Payments not made within 30 days will result in a hold being placed against enrollment in a subsequent semester, transcripts or refunds. It may also result in suspension of parking privileges. Appeals by students must be filed with the Student Government Association within 10 working days of the date Violation Notice was issued. Students must file a written petition for a hearing in the Harvin Student Center - East Campus, Office of Student Leadership and Campus Life, Room 105; or Room 106 at the Coleman Center - West Campus. 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.
