their tickets are not from the government, it's from their own parking service. If you don't pay then they just pass your information to another party to harass you with mail and phone calls (just like other private parking companies). However, if you are a student at ubc and the car is registered under your name, they'll charge you in ur student service account and won't let u grad until you pay it off

^ are you sure about this? I think you are okay if you have less than 3 parking tickets from UBC. If you have more than that, you may see your car get towed.

You're confusing exam period with convocation, btw.

You may be interested in this: http://www.theprovince.com/news/orde...548/story.html Quote:
A judge has found that UBC has been unlawfully issuing parking tickets since 1990 and has ordered that more than $4 million in fines be paid back to thousands of violators.
In 2006 B.C. Supreme Court Justice Richard Goepel certified a class-action lawsuit on the issue after representative plaintiff Daniel Barbour filed suit against the university.
Barbour, a Vancouver chartered accountant, was angry when his two-door Jaguar was impounded after he left it in a parking lot on Wesbrook Mall on the UBC campus.
He was legally parked at the time but was ordered to pay $200 to get his car back after the university alleged he’d violated the parking regulations on at least one other occasion.
Up until the start of the trial, UBC argued that the parking fines were lawfully collected under the University Act but then admitted that the scheme was illegal.
It then submitted that there were “private law justifications” for the regulations, but in a ruling released Monday, Goepel said that those arguments were not sufficient to uphold the fines.
The judge said that UBC retains the power to remove vehicles that are improperly parked and to recover costs incurred, but he noted that in most cases the fines are far in excess of the damage caused to UBC by the miscreant parker, and said that those penalized trusted that UBC had the power to impose the fines.
“There is something fundamentally unfair that those good citizens should not recover the money that UBC had no right to collect in the first place,” he said in ordering restitution.
“I’m extremely pleased,” said Barbour. “The court has recognized that UBC has been unlawfully collecting fines and unlawfully towing cars solely because people had unpaid tickets. The court has found that those are both illegal activities.”
Barbour added that he likes the university but “they have to stop this particular practice. I certainly know professors out at UBC, students out at UBC, and they’ve all had their cars towed in this sort of fashion. And they’ve been rooting me on.”
Sharon Matthews, Barbour’s lawyer, said there were still several issues to be determined, including setting up a system for people to come forward to be paid.
Court heard that from January 1990 to December 2005, a total of 432,847 traffic tickets were issued and more than half remain unpaid. From September 2000 to March 2006, violation notices were issued to 115,456 licence plates. Only 20 per cent of violators were responsible for nearly half of the violation notices.
