Appeal Citation
Individuals may be cited for traffic and parking violations committed while on campus including parking without a valid permit, parking in an unauthorized area, blocking a roadway, etc. Unpaid fines will result in a hold being placed on your records, which will prevent you from registering for classes and obtaining college transcripts or financial aid. After a reasonable time, unpaid fines are referred to a collection agency.

If you wish to appeal a citation, complete a Citation Appeal Form by downloading it from this website. You may alternatively pick up a copy of the form at the Security Office (5000 building; room 5102). Appeals must be filed within (5) business days after the date on the ticket. After that time you will be required to pay the fine and may not appeal.

When turning in an appeal form, the security department will also need a copy of your ticket and a copy of your identification (driver’s license, student ID).
