Parking Citation Appeals

Appeals Procedure

Any person who feels he/she has unjustly received a parking citation may file a parking appeal. 

The appeals procedure is as follows:

• Parking Citations must be appealed within ten (10) business days of issuance.
• Appeals will not be accepted unless they are submitted in writing on the proper form (completed in its entirety) with the parking citation attached.  The form must be completed in its entirety.  It is the violator’s responsibility to obtain a copy of the lost or misplaced citation.  Copies of a lost citation may be requested from The Office of Student Accounts.
• Appeals will be handled in accordance with TCNJ’s Traffic Appeals Board procedures.

How do I file an appeal? 

• Complete a Parking Citation Appeal Form

What happens once I file an Appeal?

• Appellants have the option of appealing citations in person or in absentia.
• Appellants will be notified of the board’s decision by email and/or mail.
• If your appeal is upheld (denied), payment must be made by the date specified in your decision letter.  If the parking citation is on a student’s billing account, students may pay the citation via TESS.  Payments (cash or check) may also be made in person at The Office of Student Accounts.
• If you have already paid your citation and it is subsequently dismissed, you may request a refund from The Office of Student Accounts. 
• While a citation is under appeal, it is considered unpaid pending the decision of the Traffic Appeals Board, and should be paid in order to avoid registration and transcript hold flags being placed on your account.  THE DECISION OF THE TRAFFIC APPEALS BOARD IS FINAL.
