If any person is cited for violation of this Ordinance with respect to parking more than five times in a period of 12 months or more than twice in a period of 30 days, or is determined to owe more than $250.00 in unpaid fines, the Chancellor, through their designee(s), may cancel any parking permit issued to such person without refund of any portion of the fee paid and will cause the violator’s license plate numbers to be entered on a list of repeat offenders. Once a person’s license plate numbers are placed on a repeat offender list, the Vehicle is subject to impoundment or immobilization upon being parked in violation of this Ordinance. A citation found to be invalid will not be counted for purposes of this section. Any repeat offenses may be forwarded to the appropriate agency for disciplinary action(s), (i.e., the Student Attorney General for students, the Office of Human Resources, and the unit chair for SHRA employees, the unit chair for University faculty and EHRA non-faculty employees, and UNC Health Personnel Department for health system employees).
