Appeal Process

Pay Citation  |  Appeal Citation |  Appeal Process  |  How To Avoid Citations
  • Citations must be formally appealed and the respective court recommends receipt of the appeal within 10 days of the issue date.
  • All appeals must be done in writing either electronically, if possible, or via fax, mail, or in person.
  • There is no hearing to attend. Therefore, any evidence or documentation must be submitted with the appeal to be considered by the appeals committee.
  • Immobilizations and tow fines will not be considered for appeal.
  • Notifications of appeal decisions are made via email or mail. Additionally, customers with My Parking Account access may view decisions via our web site.
  • Additional information regarding appeals is available in our Regulations.

Guidelines For Filing An Appeal:

  1. Appealing a citation will not defer Student Account charges.

  2. All evidence available is used in the decision. Please bring evidence to the Parking office within 48 hours of filing an appeal.
    • Evidence includes doctors notes, receipts, photographs or anything else you feel may help your appeal.
  3. The questions that parking appeal judges ask when reviewing appeals are:
    • Did a violation occur?
    • Was the violation avoidable?

    When the answer to both is "yes", the appeal will be denied.

  4. Be CLEAR in explaining your situation
  5. Be RELEVANT and POLITE in presenting your case
  6. The following reasons are considered as frivolous for appeal:
    • Lack of knowledge of the regulations, for example, new to campus or have not reviewed regulations;
    • Other vehicles were parked improperly;
    • Only parked illegally for a short period of time;
    • Stated failure of parking officer to ticket previously for similar offenses;
    • Late to class or appointment;
    • Inability to pay the amount of the fine;
    • No other place to park.
    • Someone other than Parking Management said you could park there.
  7. Don't appeal "just to give it a shot." These appeals are read by students and faculty/staff like you who volunteer their time. If you deserved the ticket, please just pay it -- help us keep this process VOLUNTEER RUN!
