Parking Citation Forgiveness Turn Parking Citations into Community Support.

Students with parking citations have the opportunity to donate approved items in exchange for waiving qualifying parking citations. This initiative supports our students who have outstanding parking citations, the STC Food Pantry and Jaguar Self-Care Den.

Qualification Requirements

• Program is limited to one-time use per student.
• Student must contact the Parking Office to verify eligibility.
• Once verified, bring seven items from the approved list for each qualifying parking citation and each qualifying citation will be waived.
• Please make an appointment with the Parking Office before dropping off items.
