Tickets appeals are forward to the Dean of Student Development.
The student must make this appeal within 10 school days or two weeks from the day the ticket was received. The student shall then check with the police department, within 72 hours after the appeal is submitted, for the decision of the administrator in charge of appeals.
Appeals will not be accepted after the aforementioned time limit.
A $2 late fee will be added to the fine if the ticket is not appealed or paid within the time limit.
