Parking and Traffic 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.

The office to which to deliver UNO Parking and Traffic Ticket Appeals will be located in Sciences 1042. If you need to speak to the appeals officer, please contact Ms. Shannon Apostal at 280-7284 or by email at smsaaved@uno.edu  to establish a time to do so.

Appeal forms should be dropped off in the box located outside of Sciences 1042.
