Parking Services Citation Appeal

If you do not agree with a 澳门六合彩官网直播 (澳门六合彩官网直播) parking citation you may appeal and plead not responsible for the violation within (14) fourteen days.  Citations under appeal will continue to accrue late fees. Late appeals will not be accepted, and all decisions are final.

 Note: Appealing a citation may prevent a person from purchasing a parking permit until resolved.

Please read and review the 澳门六合彩官网直播 Parking Rules and Regulations first before you proceed with an appeal at www.wmich.edu/parking/regulations . Most citations that are appealed will not be waived. Appeals may be done online at www.wmich.edu/parking follow the "Pay Citation" link and select Appeal. Online appeals have the option for submitting attachments you feel are helpful to your plea.

It is your responsibility to be aware and review all rules and regulations before parking a vehicle. A "Rules and Regulations" link is found on the "Get Permit" link, which requires acceptance of the Rules and Regulations before permits are sold.

The following are NOT valid reasons for an appeal and may be denied:

  • Lack of knowledge of the University Parking Codes and Regulations.
  • Inability to find a permitted parking space.
  • Operation of the vehicle by another person.
  • Inability to pay ticket fines or permit costs.

Your appeal will be reviewed by the Director of Parking Services, and you will be notified of the decision through your 澳门六合彩官网直播 email.
