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.
