Parking lots on Illinois Tech's Mies Campus require a valid parking permit. Parking and traffic regulations are enforced through the issuance of citations and for certain violations, vehicle tow from campus. Designated parking areas are marked by signs or electronic means. We do not post signs everywhere parking is restricted, but all valid parking lots are clearly marked.
Parking citations are issued through the course of campus patrols. Should you receive a citation that you feel was issued in error, the following options are available to you within (7) days of citation issue.
- If you received advance parking authorization related to the citation, email the permission campusbusiness@iit.edu within (7) days of the issue date to have it voided.
- If you have a valid semester, academic, or annual permit, but received a citation because you did not register your alternate vehicle; please register the vehicle via and email campusbusiness@iit.edu to have the citation voided. Remember, when you link vehicles to your parking account you assume responsibility for all subsequent citations issued to the vehicle until you cancel your vehicle registration.
- Email your appeal for a medical emergency or a first-time citation to campusbusiness@iit.edu. Please note that a first-time citation will not waive a tow eligible violation.
If you encounter parking enforcement outside, you are welcome to ask them for general assistance regarding parking access. However, email campusbusiness@iit.edu for citation issuance concerns or parking service enhancement requests.

Any of the following acts can result in loss of parking privileges:
- Falsification of registration.
- Registration of a vehicle by or for a person ineligible for parking privileges under these regulations.
- A record of THREE or more unpaid parking citations.
- Other serious and/or repeated violations of these regulations.
Parking Services will make reasonable efforts to notify customers of pending enforcement action, but failure to receive prior notification does not negate the enforcement action. All registered vehicles of the responsible customer will remain tow eligible until satisfactory payment arrangements have been made. An eligible vehicle may be towed regardless of whether a violation has occurred at the time the vehicle is identified parked on campus. Repeat violators may be reported to their respective Department Head or the Dean of Students.
Vehicle Tows
University initiated vehicle tows are executed by a private towing company working in agreement with Illinois Tech. Vehicles may be towed from campus for the following reasons:
- Three or more outstanding citations. This means the vehicle has been issued at least three citations and no actions have been taken to appeal or pay the fines. (See Loss of Parking Privileges above.)
- Parking in a reserved space, restricted area, or no parking zone.
- Parking in such a way as to constitute a serious hazard or that obstructs vehicular or pedestrian traffic, the operation of emergency equipment and/or making of essential repairs. This includes, but is not limited to, vehicles parked in fire lanes, blocking loading areas, or parked on sidewalks or grass.
- Any vehicle identified as abandoned. This means the vehicle does not display proper state registration (license plates) or is in an obvious state of disrepair and satisfactory arrangements for removal have not been made.
Owners of vehicles that have been towed will need to contact Rendered Services to retrieve their vehicle.
