Citation Appeals
A citation may be appealed by completing a Parking Citation Appeal within 14 days of the citation date. Appeals are heard by a committee multiple times a semester during the academic year. The committee is comprised of students, faculty, and staff of the University. If you wish to volunteer for the Parking Appeal Committee, please contact your representing senate. The decision of the Parking Appeal Committee is binding to both the appellant and the Parking Department.
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 disabled 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 meters 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.
