Parking Appeals Procedure

All Parking violation appeals must be submitted using the Parking Violation Appeals form.

The goal of the appeals process is to provide a way to resolve contested parking citations. The appeals process is designed to:

• provide information and assistance for the appellant
• evaluate the effectiveness of campus parking regulations, signage and enforcement efforts, and suggest ways to improve them
• modify the behavior of repeat offenders

Required documentation to appeal a handicap violation must include:

• photocopy of (valid) handicap hangtag
• photocopy of individual's driver's license

Examples of defenses that are not grounds for appeal include:

• never received the ticket
• did not know the parking rules
• only parked a few minutes
• parking lot was full
• was late/weather was bad
• had my flashers on
• picking up/dropping off friends/books/labs etc.
• someone else was using my car
• inability to pay fine
• co-worker/friend told me I could park there
• repeat violations/multiple violations for same type

The Appeal Administrator has the authority to dispose of a case by:

• upholding the charge(s)
• upholding the charge(s) with a reduced fee
• reducing the charges to a lesser offense
• dismissing the charge(s)

The Appeal Administrator's decision will either be emailed or mailed to the appellant. The decision of the Appeal Administrator is final.
