Appeal a Parking Citation

To contest a parking citation, appeals must be submitted within 45 days of the citations issuance; the right to appeal a citation is forfeited once the citation has passed the 45 days.

Appeals are reviewed on a case-by-case basis by a Parking Appeals Adjudicator. Please allow up to 4 weeks for processing of the appeal. Once a citation appeal has been submitted, the escalation process will pause until a judgement has been made. If a citation appeal is rejected, a second appeal may be submitted if within the 45 days of the citations issuance.

Appeal results will be sent via the email address provided within the appeal request, unless preference is indicated to receive the results via U.S. mail. Please be aware that email communications may be routed to email “junk” folders, please reference these folders if a response has not been received.

Questions regarding an appeal can be made to appeals_parking@ahec.edu
