My son/daughter has received parking citations. How can I obtain information about the violations or the fees?
In order for a parent or guardian to obtain student information, there must be a Student Record Release on file with the Registrar’s office. Students may designate access to their academic records (including parking records) to parents and/or guardians via their myBama account. The ‘Record Release to Parent/Guardian’ link is under the Student Services folder located on the Student Tab of myBama. Students may designate access only to individuals that are listed as an emergency contact, which they may also enter through their myBama account.
