Appeals

PLEASE NOTE: Beginning with the 2008-09 school year the appeals process has changed. Parking citation appeals are now available on line and may be submitted electronically. Please read the instructions posted below carefully.

If you received a parking citation you may appeal it by submitting a completed parking citation appeals form to the Parking Office within 14 calendar days from the date the citation was issued. Once submitted for review by the appeals committee the citation will be put on hold. The fine amount due will not increase nor will any further action be taken for collection until it has been reviewed by the appeals committee. Once the appeals committee has made a decision you will be notified of their decision. Unless your citation has been cancelled, you will have two (2) weeks from the date of the appeals committee meeting to pay the amount due before further action is taken. Please note, the decision of the appeals committee is final and binding for the appellant and the Parking Office.

Guidelines for Submitting an Appeal
  • In your appeal only address parking related circumstances and conditions that were in existence when and where you parked and/or when the citation was issued to the vehicle. The appeals process is not a forum for complaints about parking. If you wish to file a complaint or suggestion for parking please send an email to parking@uwgb.edu.
