OSU-Cascades parking system is managed using vehicle license plates as your "virtual" permit. We enforce violations based on the vehicle's license plate, which must be visible from the parking aisle.
Issued parking citations must be paid by check or at the cashier's office in Obsidian Hall within 10 days of the citation date to avoid late fees. Cashier payments are recorded immediately. Check payments are recorded the day they are received in the mail. Citations outstanding for more than 30 days may be subject to collections.
Citations can be paid online at osucascades.rmcpay.com with either citation number or license plate.
If paying with cash or check, pay at the cashier's office or by mailing a check referencing the citation number or license plate number to:
Any vehicle with three or more unpaid citations is subject to immobilization or tow at the owners expense per University Standard: 07-025. Additional fines apply. Towing services provided by Bar Towing, 160 SE Logsden St., Bend, OR. Bar Towing can be reached at 541-318-4280.
Unpaid fines will be sent to collections or transferred to a student's university account after 30 days. This may impact ability to register for classes or obtain a valid transcript.
To appeal a citation online, enter either the citation number or vehicle license plate at osucascades.rmcpay.com
To make an appeal, provide specific evidence showing the citation was not valid and/or issued in error. The following reasons are NOT grounds to appeal a citation:
The review committee may accept statements into consideration, however statements admitting the offense may not be considered as evidence needed to overturn the citation. Each citation has pictures attached that are taken at the time the citation is issued. These pictures are entered as evidence to support the officer’s actions while enforcing the regulations. Overtime violations include time stamps, as well as pictures of the vehicle as the officers supporting evidence.
