You are attending VCU, so you can get out of emissions by registering the car to an address in Richmond (dorm or apt) instead of your parents. Because your car is in your parents' name (for the title) and at their home address, you are receiving a notice for an emissions inspection. Would think that your parents would be reluctant to hand over the title to you so that you could register it in Richmond simply for inspections. The emissions inspections are not that frequent, so slap on OEM equip for the test then swap back out afterwards like the majority of people with aftermarket exhaust in northern va. Hope this friendly info helps.
