Additional citations, fines and escalation amounts apply.
* This fine also carries revocation of parking privileges for the current and following academic year. If a permit is revoked, there will be no refund of the permit value.
Vehicles remaining in violation will be subject to additional citations. Citations will be reissued for the same violation each 24 hour period.
Payments may be made at the UW-River Falls Parking Office, 27 South Hall, by U.S. mail, campus mail, or through University collection drop boxes located at Q Lot, B Lot and 27 South Hall. All unpaid fines will escalate at 14, 90 and 365 days. Fines may continue to escalate up to $200. Some restrictions may apply.
Citation Appeals
A citation may be appealed by completing a Parking Citation Appeal within 14 days of the citation date. Forms are available in the Parking Office, 27 South Hall or at the link provided below. Appeals are decided upon by a committee once a month during the academic year. The committee is comprised of students, faculty, and staff of the University. The decision of the Parking Committee is binding on the Parking Department and appellant. Seldom granted appeals include: lack of knowledge of the parking regulations, forgetfulness/late for class, inability to find a parking space, parking in a reserved or physically challenged space without displaying a proper permit, receiving information about parking from another source besides the Parking Department, using your flashers to indicate that you will "only be a minute," and parking in a fire lane. Citations received in the metered lots can only be appealed on the basis of meter malfunction. A Meter Citation Appeal must be received within 14 days of the citation date. A malfunction status can change at anytime, therefore it is in the citation holders best interest to appeal the citation immediately.
