Appendix D: Motor Vehicle Registration and Operation
To appeal a citation, an online appeal form available at http://www.samford.edu/ops/event/ticketappealform.aspx
must be completed on the Transportation Services website within ten calendar days of the date of the citation. Appeals
are based on the written appeal and are processed by the Parking/Traffic Appeals Court. The Parking/Traffic Appeals
Court is composed of student peers and could include faculty and staff members. The appellant shall be notified in
writing of the Court's decision. If an appeal is granted, the amount of the citation will be removed from the appellant's
account. The decision of the Parking/Traffic court appeals process is final.
