Traffic Appeals

The University Court reviews parking and traffic violations.

Valid grounds for appeal

Appeals may be granted for two reasons:

1. There is substantial evidence that you did not commit the violation
2. You committed the violation, but due to circumstances beyond your control.

Invalid grounds for appeal

Reasons that are NOT valid grounds for appeal include, but are not limited to:

• Lack of knowledge of the regulation(s).
• Lost citation or “I did not receive the ticket on my vehicle”.
• Did not see a parking sign.
• Had flashers on or parked only for a short period of time
• Inability to find a legally marked space.
• Forgetfulness.
• Other vehicles were parked improperly.
• Incorrect permit for area.
• My [coach, professor, supervisor, RA, etc.] told me I could park there.

Appeal forms are available on OrgSync. Forms are also available at the Parking office. Appeals must be completed in writing and a hard copy of the form submitted to the Parking office along with a copy of the citation being appealed.  A separate appeal form is required for each individual citation. The deadline for submitting an appeal for students, employees, and visitors is 10 business days from the issuance of the citation.

Please complete the SGA appeal form.

Appeals are heard by the SGA Court, who will notify the appellant of the approval or denial of their appeal.  

If you have any additional questions, please contact the Chief Justice.
