Anybody have any previous experience regarding what happens with your unpaid U of C parking tickets upon graduation... Do they hold your degree until you pay?

I would just not pay them and wait and see what happens first.
Just tell any potential employers that you would have your degree except for that pesky parking ticket. They'll be impressed by you being honest.......

I graduated with a few unpaid tickets, never heard a peep. It is privately owned property, so the city can't enforce them and the university's security has very limited authority over any of the faculties. Can you imagine how a department head would react if security called them up and told them that they couldn't graduate some of their students?
Parking tickets that remain outstanding are considered a debt to the University and may be subject to the filing of a withhold on a students' account. This withhold would not allow services to be received from the Registrar's office at the University of Calgary
So, if the registrar's office services are required for your degree, then yes, it goes on hold.
I have very little love for the university I graduated from, I felt like a number, not a student, and felt that they were unfair to students in many aspects (not regarding tuition at all, I felt it was actually pretty fair), so I know where your coming from...
But just pay your dam tickets

They can hold not only your degree but also requests for transcripts. If it's a lot of money you might want to wait and find out what happens first?

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.

Apparently the university you graduated from had very little love for you too.

I did my first degree there in 1995 and had some unpaid parking tickets. Did not have a problem receiving my degree nor were there any problems in requesting transcripts. Did an MA there 10 years ago and it seems that there was no record of my outstanding tickets, etc.
U of S would let you graduate but wouldnt perform any services for you if you outstanding library fines or parking tickets. So you couldnt gt transcripts from the office.
