General
Parking area and walkway regulations will be enforced to avoid congestion, maintain safe driving conditions, provide delivery and emergency vehicle access, and optimally use existing parking facilities.
Anyone parking a vehicle on university property in violation of any section of the UAA parking regulations is subject to citation.
Parking Services manages parking access and levies and collects all fines for parking violations in accordance with university policy, including the provision of due process through an appeal process.
All vehicles operated on the UAA campus are subject to the motor vehicle laws of the State of Alaska. Citations will be issued for motor vehicle law violations.
