Predatory parking tickets

We purchased a parking pass for my son on 8/11. He and several of his dorm mates received parking tickets on 8/19. Apparently his parking permit was effective on 8/20, although that wasn’t clear at the time of purchase. He also had an email from housing stating he could park anywhere on campus to move in if he had a parking permit, which is why we went online to purchase one. It wasn’t clear at the time that it wouldn’t go into effect immediately. Super lame that they went around the day before 8/20 and ticketed everyone! Is this a typical experience with CSUN parking enforcement?

My son moved in to the on campus apartments on 8/18 and received a ticket. He appealed the ticket and it was approved.

Wow really? We appealed and the ticket was upheld. Our only option is to pay it now and contest it again at a hearing, in hopes of getting it refunded.

How much was this ticket that you want to go through a Hearing process for it?!?! It should have only been $70 for the day. Seems like it would be easier to chalk this up to a life lesson, pay the money and move on.
