An appeal of parking violation penalties must be filed at the Parking Services Office within fifteen (15) calendar days of the issuance of the Notice(s) of Violation. Appeals will not be accepted unless they are submitted in writing on the proper form and the Notice of Violation or item number is listed. Appeals will be handled in accordance with the University Parking Appeals Board procedures in effect at that time. 

The decision of the Appeals Board is final, and there is no appeal of its decision. 

A surcharge of $15.00 will be added to your parking account for any $50.00 (or greater) violation for which the appeal is denied. A surcharge of $10.00 will be added to your parking account for all other violations for which the appeal is denied.

A late fee of $10.00 will be added to all fines due as a result of a denied appeal and not paid within 15 calendar days of the date of the notification letter. 

The Appeals Board may deny an appeal and charge the violator with a lesser offense to reflect the most appropriate violation.
