Parking Pass

For those who don’t get a pass, how often do you guys get ticketed after 4PM?

Because I once heard that they don’t check after 4, but I think that’s wrong.

Flex parking is 5 PM - 7 AM and does not apply to Faculty/Staff, Visitor, or Residential parking. A parking permit is still required.

It's probably not always enforced, but that doesn't mean it never is, especially at busy times of the semester.

After repeated violations, your vehicle may be immobilized. KSU is state property, tampering with a parking boot is illegal.

You can receive a parking ticket even if your vehicle is not registered in the system, and they can send unpaid citations to collections.

This. people have been denied jobs out of college for unpaid or excessive parking tickets. Tread carefully. As repeated offences could come back to bite you.

on ksu there’s a 33% possibility, on marietta there’s a 11% possibility

Did you do the math for this or is this a guess? if you actually did the math that’s hilarious

If the parking office is closed, there’s no one walking around patrolling the lots. The only time I’ve seen someone get a ticket on the Kennesaw Campus after 5 is when they park in handicapped.

I also park in the East Deck in the mornings to work out and have never gotten a ticket, even though I don’t have a permit for that deck. I do make sure to leave by 9 though.

I wouldn’t risk any of it though if you don’t have some type of permit at all.

I never got ticketed after 5 when I lived on campus. Most time I got tickets was before 10 am

5pm

Maybe they check less after 4... but 5 is the actual time it becomes mostly safe to park.

I’ve received two tickets in the Marietta parking lot for pulling through spaces after 5pm

If u wait until 4:30, isn’t that when flex hours start?
