As a student, you know that parking can be tricky on campus. With limited spaces and a strict time limit, it can be hard to find a spot. But what if you get a parking ticket? Is your car going to get towed?
What is the towing policy of my university?
At most universities, the towing policy is that if you need your vehicle towed, you will need to contact security or the parking services. Some universities may have a contract with a certain company that they use for towing, while others may use private companies.
If I have my car towed, will the police be called?
There is no universal answer to this question, as it depends on the laws of your state. Generally speaking, if you need your car towed and are not the registered owner, the police will not be called. If you are the registered owner, the tow truck driver may or may not contact the police. In some cases, depending on the location, the tow truck driver may have to obtain a permit from authorities before towing your car.
What happens if I don’t have my car?
If you don’t have your car, you may need to find a way to get around. Campus security may tow your car if it is abandoned on campus.
Tips for avoiding getting your car towed
If you find yourself needing campus security to tow your car, there are a few tips to keep in mind. First and foremost, always know the campus parking regulations. Many campuses have restrictions on where cars can be parked, and tow trucks may not be able to navigate around them. Also, be sure to know the parking lot’s regulations for leaving your car unattended. Some lots allow cars to remain parked for a certain amount of time, while others only allow them to be left for a certain amount of time between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Finally, don’t leave anything valuable inside your car – especially if you plan on having it towed. Thieves often target cars that are parked in public areas with easy access to things like purses and wallets.
Conclusion

-Never tamper with or damage any security equipment;
-Stay on campus during the prescribed hours;
