Appealing Parking Tickets

You have the right to appeal a PLU parking ticket to the Appeals Board. The appeals form can be accessed here.

• Appeal forms must be completed within 7 days of the ticket issue date.
• Failure to appeal within the allotted time results in loss of the right to appeal.
• Tickets that are submitted for appeal are not eligible for the next business day 50% off reduction.
• If your ticket is downgraded or rejected by the Appeals Board and you do not pay the ticket by the date given, it will be billed to your student account for the original price of the ticket plus a $10 admin fee.
• Student tickets and Employee tickets will not be voided out at the Campus Safety office. You will need to submit an Appeal request. Your request will then be up for review.

Appeals are reviewed about once a month.
