Towing charges will be charged to your student account and you cannot appeal this charge. You will be required to pay all towing charges, citation fines, and you will be subject to losing your parking and driving privileges. Additionally there will be times that you will be required to move your vehicle onto the East Campus due to Citrus College needing the spaces for athletic or other special events. ATTENTION: All Shire Annex vehicles are prohibited from parking anywhere on the East Campus, from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m., Monday - Friday as set forth in APU Vehicle Code {APUVC 3008}.
