LSU Interim President Matt Lee announced on social media Tuesday that all parking citations issued to LSU students between Aug. 25 and 29 will be pardoned.
If the student has already paid, they will receive a refund.
“Thank you for your cooperation and commitment as we begin a great semester together,” Lee said.
LSU Parking & Transportation previously said there would be no grace period this semester, although there has been one in previous years.
Many students have been frustrated with parking to start the semester after commuter parking passes sold out earlier than usual, leaving many students scrambling to find a different way to get to campus.
LSU has encouraged students who weren’t able to get parking passes to sign up for Park & Geaux, which shuttles students from the Tiger Park East Lot to central locations on campus like the Student Union and Lockett Hall.
There’s a wait list for commuter passes that was at least 2,000 students long.
LSU’s enrollment keeps growing, which intensifies the parking issue. This year’s freshman class was the eighth straight that set a school record for size.
