Additional Information

UPD may remove (tow) the vehicle of any person who operates or parks a motor vehicle on the Delta State campus in violation of the law, university regulations, or has their privileges suspended. Such a person shall be responsible for any costs incurred from towing and impounding the vehicle. This person may not hold the University and its official liable for any damage to the vehicle resulting from enforcement action, towing, or storing.

UPD will remove any vehicle that is illegally parked, abandoned, found on the campus with no license plate, or parked causing a hazard to vehicular or pedestrian traffic under the same stipulation as stated in Section VI., E. Mississippi Code, 1972.

NOTE: UPD will have any vehicle that is broken down and has been parked on campus for over one month removed from campus at the owner’s expense unless otherwise approved by the department director.
