Obviously they don't hold back degrees because you got yours, but if the UofC did, I would assume the phone call would go like this:

Dept Head: Hello

Registrar's office: Hello, we regret to inform you that we have emailed a list of students in your facility that cannot be issued a degree because of outstanding parking tickets. They will be issued a degree if they pay their tickets and we have taken the liberty of emailing them.

Dept Head: Ok "Hangs up and wonders why they called him"

As I am generalizing human beings here, obviously everyone reacts different, but I would assume that department heads have better things to do than hold the hands of adults who didn't pay their tickets.
