Q: It’s just an NDSU parking ticket; I don’t have to pay it if I don’t want to, right?
A: Wrong! Parking tickets written on NDSU controlled property are fines due to the University.  These fines are applied to student and employee financial accounts.  Students and employees are responsible for paying outstanding balances to the University, or "financial holds" may be placed for lack of payment.

Q: What if I forget to hang my permit and I receive a parking ticket? 
A: When you purchase your permit, you will receive a one-time "Excuse-It Card." "Excuse-It Cards" cannot be replaced if lost. Bring this card and your ticket to the NDSU Parking Office to be excused from the violation. This card is only valid for a “No Permit/Wrong Lot” violation received in one of your assigned lots. You must bring this "Excuse-It Card" to the NDSU Parking Officewith the citation to get the citation excused. Park & Ride permits do not come with an "Excuse-It Card".
