Parking Fine Schedule

Citation Notification Update for 2025–2026 Academic Year
Beginning in the 2025–2026 academic year, all Xavier-affiliated individuals (students and employees) will no longer receive printed parking citations on their vehicles. Instead, all citations will be delivered electronically to the individual's official Xavier email address.

Citations not paid or appealed within 10 days will be automatically transferred to the individual's student or employee bursar account.
