Parking Violations
There are designated parking areas for employees, visitors, students and patients on our campus. If you park in an unassigned area or illegally, you may receive a parking ticket. Any ticket not paid within 21 calendar days will result in an additional $5.00 penalty before registry action is taken. After the Registry of Motor Vehicles is notified, additional penalties will be added as prescribed by law. A ticket may be appealed by completing an appeal's form located online at www.umassmed.rmcpay.com.
