If you wish to challenge a parking citation, you must complete an appeal using the MyParking self-service website within 21 calendar days from the date the citation was issued. A kiosk is also available at UCard, Access and Parking Services (UCAPS).

  1. The appeal must be submitted online to the UCAPS Office within 21 days after the date of the ticket. If unable to submit it online an email with your appeal message can also be sent by email to: UCAPS@uml.edu and our office will upload it for the committee to review on your behalf. 
  2. An appeal must address the violation and be based on a dispute about the validity of the ticket or on extenuating circumstances. Lost tickets, forgetfulness, parking for a short time, failure to display a parking permit, ignorance of parking regulations and/or not seeing the signs are unacceptable grounds for an appeal.
  3. The appeal will be reviewed by a committee comprised of a representative from the UCAPS Office, University Police, a faculty/staff member, and a student. You will be notified in writing of the Committee's decision. Decisions are typically made 2 to 3 weeks after the appeal but can take longer depending on volume and time of year.

DO NOT PAY a parking ticket if you intend to appeal it. Once tickets are paid we cannot issue a refund and the appeal is automatically cancelled.
