The student should contact McMurry Security regarding any error or question concerning a traffic violation. No appeal on any parking violation will be considered unless such is made within five class days following the date of the citation. The University charges the McMurry University Security with the responsibility of creating a safe environment by enforcing the University Parking and Traffic Regulations. This enforcement includes the issuance of warning tickets and violation citations. Fines will be paid to the University’s Business Office during normal business hours. When fines are not paid or when there is a clear display of continuous and deliberate disregard for these regulations, specific steps will be taken to ensure compliance of the regulations. A. If a vehicle is found to have been cited THREE times within the year (Fall to Fall) for any type of parking violation, regardless if the citations are paid or unpaid, the following will take place at a third violation: 1. A citation will be issued; and 2. An IMMOBILZATION WARNING NOTICE STICKER will be attached to the driver’s side window. B. If a vehicle is found to have been cited FOUR times within a semester for any type of parking violation regardless if the citations are paid or unpaid, the following will take place at a fourth violation: 1. The vehicle will be IMMOBILIZED by using a piece of equipment called “THE BOOT”. “THE BOOT” is an IMMOBILIZATION DEVICE that is attached to one of the wheels on the vehicle making it immobilized. Once “THE BOOT” is attached to the vehicle the University Security Department will remove it after a BOOT REMOVAL FEE of $50.00 is paid along with all outstanding parking and traffic fines to the business office. 2. After “THE BOOT” has been placed on the vehicle, an attempt to notify the owner/ operator will be made by the University Security Department. “THE BOOT” will stay on the vehicle for up to THREE DAYS. If the owner/operator does not make the necessary arrangements to pay the BOOT REMOVAL FEE and all outstanding parking and traffic fines within three days, the immobilized vehicle will be towed at the owner’s expense. C. After a vehicle has been immobilized a second time within a semester, the operator of the vehicle will be provided a written notice stating that he or she is prohibited from operating any vehicle on campus until the end of that semester. If the vehicle is observed operating or parking on campus (legally or illegally), a citation violation can be issued and immobilization and/or towing can occur at the operator’s expense.
