Snow Emergencies

A fresh snowfall necessitates that snow removal equipment be able to clear campus roads and parking areas. Notice will be given as to the day and hour specific parking lots will be cleared. Vehicle owners are expected to be alert to these notices and to move their cars before the designated times. Failure to do so will subject the owner to a fine and towing at the owner's expense.

Campus Security will issue tickets to violators of campus regulations.
The fine is marked on the ticket and payable to RWC at the Campus Security Office, located in the upper level VAC, during regular office hours or can be sent through Campus Mail. After 10 days, any unpaid fines will be doubled. Grades and transcripts will be withheld from any students with unpaid fines.
Appeals of fines may be made to the Parking Appeals Court through the Campus Security Office in writing, and must include the ticket. Appeal forms can be found outside of Room 241 in the Voller Athletic Center or on www/rwc.roberts.edu. Appeals must be submitted in writing within 5 working days. No appeals will be considered after this deadline. Questions concerning parking violations and tickets should be directed to the director’s office of Campus Security.
Persistent student violators will be subject to additional disciplinary action including loss of campus parking privileges.
