Appealing Parking Tickets

If you wish to challenge a parking ticket, you must complete and submit an Appeal Form within 21 business/school days of the date the ticket was issued. Paper forms are also available in the Access Services Office, the Student Services Office and the Campus Police Office. A clear and legible copy of the ticket must be filed with the appeal. DO NOT PAY a parking ticket if you intend to appeal it. Once tickets are paid we cannot issue a refund and the appeal is automatically cancelled.

An appeal must address the violation and be based on a dispute with the validity of the ticket or on extenuating circumstances that necessitated violation of the parking regulations. A lost ticket, forgetfulness, parking only for a short time, failure to display a parking permit/decal and/or not seeing the signs are unacceptable grounds for an appeal.

The written appeal will be reviewed by a committee comprised of faculty, staff and students. You will be notified, in writing, of the Committee's decision within two to three weeks.

Note: All decisions of the Appeals Committee are final!

NO EMPLOYEE OF THE ACCESS SERVICES OFFICE HAS THE ABILITY TO CANCEL OR VOID A PARKING TICKET. ALL CHALLENGES ARE ARBITRATED BY THE APPEALS COMMITTEE.
