Drivers’ Responsibilities When Using Garage

Drivers are responsible for finding an authorized parking space. The lack of space, stalled vehicles due to mechanical problems, traffic in the garage, personal excuses such as, late for appointments, dropping off a paper or package, did not see a posted sign, or other factors do not justify parking violations.

Payment of Fines: If a fine is imposed due to parking violations, including abuse of parking privileges, payment of fine must be made in full and in a timely manner. Any payment past due may result in additional fines, the loss of parking privileges, or a Hold may be placed on a student’s records. The use of access card or campus ID may also be temporarily suspended until outstanding parking fines or penalties are fully paid.

All fines may be paid with cash, credit card, money order, or certified check.

All patrons operating a vehicle must observe the following parking regulations:

  1. A vehicle must occupy only one stall. This applies to all drivers utilizing the parking garage, including monthly parkers – one space per monthly parker at all times.
  2. A driver is responsible for locking his/her vehicle upon parking. If a key is left on the ignition or inside the vehicle, it is the responsibility of the driver to retrieve the key or to unlock the vehicle. Driver must inform attendant-on-duty of the location of his/her vehicle; if a call for service has been placed and is expected to arrive. Due to liability issues, UC Law SF Parking Services will not attempt to open locked vehicles nor will it be required to wait for service on a driver’s behalf.
