Parking Tickets

The Parking Department and the University Police Department are responsible for issuing parking citations on campus roadways and campus parking lots.

Citations are issued using an electronic handheld ticket writer. Once the vehicle information is entered a ticket citation is printed and placed on the vehicle. The citation shows the specific violation, the location of the violation, the license plate number, the make of the vehicle, the date and time the ticket was written and the identification of the officer or staff member issuing the ticket. The ticket information is then downloaded into the Parking Department's computer system and the tickets are matched up with student records. Students are then placed on the "hold/stop list" until the ticket is paid or appealed (within 7 days). Vehicles registered to non-campus members are matched with NY State Department of Motor Vehicle records and the registered owner is held responsible. Flagrant abuse of the parking rules and regulations may result in suspension of motor vehicle registration (DMV) and the fines owed will be sent to a collection agency.

All tickets are payable at the Student Accounts Office on the third floor of the Miller Building. Current fines are $25.00 per ticket and will increase to $35.00 after 60 days, if not paid. Handicapped violations are $100.00 per ticket. If you receive a ticket and feel that you are not in violation you may appeal the ticket within 7 days after the ticket was issued. Please see the Appealing Tickets section on this Web site.

Ticket Appeals

If you have received a ticket and you feel that you were not in violation, as shown on the ticket summons, you may appeal the ticket by filing a University Police Ticket Appeal Form. All appeals must be submitted within seven days from the date in which the ticket was issued.

Once the  appeal has been submitted it will be reviewed by a three judge panel and the decision will be e-mailed or mailed to you. All decisions are final.
