Appeals

Any person charged with a violation of Eastern Kentucky University parking regulations must either register an appeal within 7 calendar days of the date of the violation or pay the penalty. These 7 days begin on the date of the violation. Verbal appeals must be scheduled with the Parking Office within 7 days of the issuance of the first appeal decision.

The Parking Appeals Committee adjudicates all parking appeals. The Parking Appeals Committee is composed of members of the Student Court, a branch of the Student Government Association and University employees. The employee members of the Parking Appeals Committee are appointed each year by the University President.

Employees of Parking and Transportation Services serve as ex officio members of the Parking Appeals Committee and do not have a vote in the decision. Citations may be appealed online.
