Office of Judicial and Student Assistance

Temporary Office Relocation

Due to the construction and repair of the University Center and necessary closure of the second floor, the Student Affairs Offices, including the Office of Judicial and Student Assistance, are being
temporarily relocated.

Dr. Janice Lyn will be located temporarily in the Library Room 120.   She can be reached by phone at (504) 280-6222 or via email at jlyn@uno.edu .  All mail should be directed to Library Room 120.

Parking and Traffic Ticket appeals should be submitted in the box outside of Library Room 120.  If you need to speak to the appeals officer, please contact Ms. Shannon Saavedra at 280-7284. 

Judicial Affairs
Your education is a process of honest inquiry.  Your success, by its very nature, depends on your integrity. The basic philosophy of the University judicial code is one of education. We encourage your growth and development as an individual through self control.  We are committed to protecting your rights and the rights of others. If you feel that a University policy or your rights have been violated, seek help from our office. Policies governing members of the University community are outlined in the UNO Student Handbook and other official publications. The handbook is available in the Student Affairs Office and throughout the campus; it is also a good source of information on all aspects of campus life. Please do not hesitate call our office with any questions you may have.

Student Assistance
The focus of this component of the office is to provide students with helpful information concerning issues that affect them, whether on campus or off.  By helping students understand university working better, the office attempts to improve students’ self advocacy skills and conflict resolution skills.

Parking and Traffic Ticket Appeals
The purpose of the Parking and Traffic Regulations, as established by University Police, is to provide for fair and orderly parking and traffic flow for all faculty, staff, students and visitors to the University.  We strongly encourage you to read and become familiar with the parking and traffic regulations established by University Police.  If you are unsure about a parking lot or parking space, you may want to consider parking somewhere else instead of risking being issued a ticket.

If you feel that a ticket was issued in error, or if you believe the circumstances under which you parked in violation of the regulations, you can submit an appeal. It is strongly suggested that you review the regulations during your process of appeal.  Please read the appeal form thoroughly and be sure to include any supporting documentation with the appeal.

Appeal forms should be dropped off in the box on the door Room 120, in the Earl K. Long Library.  If you wish to speak with someone about your appeal, please call 280-7284 or email aaking@uno.edu to establish a time to do so.
