Citations & Appeals

OSU-Cascades parking system is managed by License Plate Recognition (LPR) technology. Cameras on entry and exit of the lot are used in conjunction with mobile LPR devices to enforce violations. 

Fines

Registered parkers can pay fines through your online account at osu.parklpr.com. 

Visitors and guests can pay a citation by entering your citation number online or sending a check to the address listed on the citation (CM 10, 1500 SW Chandler Avenue, Bend, OR 97702).

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.

Unpaid fines will be transferred to a student's account after 90 days, and may impact ability to register for classes or obtain a valid transcript.

Appeals

Registered parkers can appeal a citation online. Visitors can email parking@osucascades.edu with your citation number and reason for appeal.  

Appeals Process

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:

  • Lack of knowledge of regulations, for example, new to campus or have not read regulations
  • Other vehicles were also parked improperly
  • Late to class or appointment
  • Disagreement with or inability to pay the amount of the fine(s)
  • Lack of space
  • Unread or misunderstood signs
  • Parking only for short period of time
  • Failure to display parking permit (valid license plate)
  • Parked in ADA parking area without valid DMV placard
  • Lost citation
  • Forgetfulness

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 contain GPS time stamps, as well as pictures of the vehicle as the officers supporting evidence.
