General Information
Just what you don't want to see. You're walking to your car and instead find only an empty space. If you were parked illegally, chances are your vehicle has been towed. By parking on campus, you agree to abide by the Parking Regulations, and failure to do so may result in your vehicle being towed without prior notice.
Claim Your Vehicle
If your vehicle is towed from university property, please contact Parking Enforcement at (812) 855-9849 between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., Monday - Friday. Between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., and on weekends, contact the IU Police Department at (812) 855-4111.
To claim your vehicle, you will need to provide the following information:
- Your name and address
- Your IU University ID number (IU students and employees)
- Vehicle description (color, make, model)
- Location you last saw your vehicle
The tow fee will have to be paid by cash or credit card before your car will be released.
