Parking tickets range in cost depending on the violation. 

Persons receiving a parking ticket may appeal it by filling out an appeal form, which may be picked up at the University Police Department. Appeals must be completed and returned within 120 hours (five days) after the violation. The appeal will then be reviewed by the Director of Public Safety, and a decision will be sent to you via email. Appeals that have been denied by the Director of Public Safety may be forwarded to the University Parking and Appeals Committee, at the request of you. The Appeals Committee's decision will be final.

Operators who have had their vehicle immobilized (booted) twice will have their vehicle immobilized (booted) immediately upon receiving any additional tickets.
