Article IX - Parking Citation Penalties

901: CITATION PAYMENT

Citations must be paid in full within 15 days of the date of the citation.

902: LATE FEES – PAST DUE

Parking citations shall be increased in the sum of $10.00 if not paid within 15 days, and increase in the sum of an additional $10.00 if not paid within 30 days.

Example: If a citation is issued on 01/01, the violator has until 01/15 to pay the posted bail amount. Between 01/16 and 01/30, the violator must pay the bail amount plus an additional $10.00 penalty. Commencing 01/31, the violator will pay an additional $10.00, which equals $20.00 more than the original bail amount (e.g., $25 + $10 + $10 =$45)

903: NON-PAYMENT PENALTIES

All outstanding parking citations shall be paid in full prior to the end of each semester. Students who fail to pay all outstanding parking citations shall not receive grades, transcripts, etc. until such time as all fees are paid. Faculty, staff, visitors, etc. are subject to booting or towing at the owner’s expense consistent with the provisions included in this policy.

904: VEHICLE IMOBILIZATION PENALTIES Boot Removal

Arrangements for boot removal may be made by contacting the University Police Services during business hours at 775-674-7900 or 775-334-COPS (6677) for after-hours assistance.

Board of Regents’ Process Tuition and registration fees are set two years in

advance by the Board of Regents, and the recommended amounts are used to determine estimated revenues for the next biennial budget.

The Chancellor convenes a System-wide committee to review comparative data and to consider potential adjustments to tuition and fee levels for the following biennium.

The Tuition & Fees Committee makes a final recommendation to the Board for its consideration.

Student hearings will be held in November to gather student input on the committee’s recommendations. 3

Guiding Principles Shared Responsibility – Tuition and fee levels shall reflect the shared

responsibility, benefits and needs of the students, the state, and the institution.

Access and Affordability – Maintaining affordability by ensuring that all students can enroll at a NSHE institution by virtue of the cost of attendance and an appropriate financial aid package.

Predictable Pricing – Increases in tuition and fees shall be predictable and managed so that the quality of education is not compromised to the extent this is feasible. Once approved by the Board for specific years, the registration fees and non-resident tuition rates shall not be changed for or during the specific years except in emergency situations or extreme economic circumstances.
