Violations and Fines
All fines are payable to Brandeis University within thirty (30) calendar days after the date of violations. Payments may be made online through the Brandeis Parking Services Portal, in person at the Public Safety Office or by mailing a check, money order or postal note to Brandeis University, Public Safety Department, MS 066, Waltham, MA 02454.
Failure to pay fines within the thirty (30) calendar days' notice will result in additional fee. Nonpayment outstanding tickets will result in the immediate suspension of parking privileges and may result in complaints being issued against the registered owner and operator of the vehicle through the Student Judicial Board, Office of Human Resources or Waltham District Court. Students with outstanding parking fines will have their outstanding balances automatically forwarded to the student account office for collection.
Three or more unpaid violations can result in the vehicle being towed or otherwise immobilized by a mechanical device at the expense of the registered owner.
