I paid $12 to park in MacHall...but ah well...at least she is warm

I feel bad for those Lot 10 people, it is outside and it is one of the lots where you don't have a plug...I guess it is $3.50 though, but you could just park in 12 or whatever it is and have a plug in.

$12 is so expensive i forgot how much it was

I've gotten a ticket for the 2 hour free parking. The time on it was literally 5 minutes after expiration.

I fought it and won. Fucking renta-cop parking authorities at UC. They piss me off.

What happens if you don't pay? Do they keep track of the plates they ticket and call a tow truck if you constantly flout the rule?

[buh_buh]

no pay, no graduation.
Have fun with not paying those tickets guys.

You can get from the Art Parkade to the Mackimme Library without going outside. From there its about 20 steps to Mac Hall from where you can get to anywhere on campus without going back outside. If that is too much for you too handle you probably shouldnt be at university.

the whole campus except mech engg is linked.
it just takes you about 20 min to walk from art parkade to the gym indoors haha

that doesn't make any sense. they don't have your licence plate on your student file. unless they're bored enough to track it. even then. what if i live away from my parents and i drive their car. you can't track it by address or name. smartass.

Payment of Fines
Parking tickets that remain outstanding are considered a debt to the University and may be subject to the filing of a withhold on a students' account. This withhold would not allow services to be received from the Registrar's office at the University of Calgary.

Exactly.
I also have gotten many tickets. Not a single one paid
There is no way for them to reinforce payment and they have no record of who drove the car. So, how could they withhold your account? It's a scare tactic.

I got a ticket for having my purchased ticket face down the other day...9 mins after I parked the car haha

Those u of c rent-a-cop's are on top of their shit

Is all that time spent hiding your car in a different spot every day, photoshopping a ticket every day, printing, cutting it to a size suitable for a ticket and ACTUALLY getting a ticket worth the $4.00/day you save, assuming you don't get caught the first day?

You seem to be a smart person. If you used your intelligence to help save the world and not cheat it, all is right with the world.

i can think of at least 3 people off the top of my head who would try this. haha

im pretty sure they cant connect the car to your student id. even if they can i got 5 cars so i use a different one everytime and only one is under my name. they cant do anything to my parents. lol

[Neil4Speed]

I am not 100% sure, but they were able to connect my license plate to my name when they sent notification to my house. Whether or not they would withhold my graduation or something like that - we will see.

To tell you the truth I think that $12 for Machall is quite reasonable seeing that it is the only underground parking available on campus, and pretty limited in capacity. Especially when your paying $30 in downtown.

I paid the $12 a day when it got very cold last year, money very well spent.

don't know if the system has changed, but your license plate is not linked to your student file. there is no way for them to track your parking ticket to you as a student. they can definetely track registration info, as you will receive parking violations in your mailing address. but i don't think they go as far as matching names on the registration to names in the student database.

as evidence, I had a dozen tickets outstanding and I had no problems graduating. peoplesoft should also tell you if you have any outstanding fines, and I have never seen any amount other than 0.00 on that screen.

[turbotrip]

if the car isnt registered under ur name dont worry about paying the tickets, just worry about getting towed. I have somehow accumulated a few hundred dollars in tickets, and at around $200 they just sent a letter to the registered owner saying if the car is seen on property it will be towed. since that letter i think that car has gotten about $150 more in tickets and still not towed LOL. however now i have to switch up cars just to be safe haha

[buh_buh]

this is an old thread, but I just got a letter in the mail today not from U of C but from U of A

In accordance with clause 7.5 of the Traffic & Parking Regulations the University reserves the right to withhold indications of academic performance (examination marks, transcripts, diplomas) and to deny registration or access to registration materials for non-payment of fines incurred by students. Vehicles consistently parked illegally are placed on a tow-away list and will be towed from University property...

So I'm not sure if U of C has the same conditions, but I'm going to assume they're going to be similar although I had tickets dating back to 2005 from U of A and I never had a problem with registration or transcript requests.

Correct! But I wouldn't be worried about towing. I'm more worried if they have immobilizers.
