Citations & Appeals

Fine Information:

University Police, security officers, and parking attendants are responsible for the enforcement of parking regulations on University Lands. Vehicles parked in violation of campus regulations, UWS Code, and/or state statutes will be cited and penalties will be assessed for violations.

Violations of parking regulations are enforced based on a three tier system. This tier system allows for the initial fine amounts to vary based on the severity of the violation and the disruption it causes the campus community. Minor infractions such as violations of a time restricted zone are assessed the minimum fine amount while significant violations such as parking within a handicapped zone are assessed the maximum fine amount. All unresolved citations act in the same manner and will INCREASE in the amount due the longer they are outstanding and may result in further administrative action. 

               
All unresolved fine increases by $10 after 14 days and an additional $15 if remaining unpaid 30 days after issuance

Appeals

The Process for an appeal.... 
All appeal are submitted using our Payment Portal. 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 the citation will be put on hold. This means the fine amount due will not increase nor will any further action be taken for collection until it has been reviewed.

Guidelines for Appeal

  • In your appeal only address parking related circumstances and conditions that are directly related to 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.
  • Ignorance of parking regulations is not considered a valid basis for an appeal.
  • If you are using a medical emergency or mechanical failure as the basis for your appeal evidence of such is required (i.e. doctors' note or mechanic note/bill)
