An appeal for a violationmust be submitted within14 days of the citation being issued. Decisions are made by an independent committee made up of JCU students and staff. The Committee meets every two weeks during the academic year. Committee decisions are final. After the committee meets, the person who received the citation will be notified of the outcome immediately. If an appeal is granted, the fine will be credited back to the student account, otherwise all applicable fines will post to the Student's Account.

Parking “boot” If a vehicle is repeatedly parked in violation of parking rules and/or citations are unpaid, the vehicle may be immobilized by a parking boot. In order to have the boot removed, the violator will need to see JCU Police Department to resolve the issue and/or pay outstanding fines. A vehicle may still be ticketed while booted, if it is parked in violation.
-
The first time a vehicle is immobilized (Booted) there is a $25.00fee for the release. The person will need to pay the outstanding violations, and fees, to have the boot removed. At this time, the student will also be required to meet with the Dean of Students Office.

Towing: In addition to citations, vehicles not displaying an authorized permit, or that are illegally parked, may be towed off campus, at the owner’s expense. This includes any vehicle in a fire lane or blocking access to drives, or passageways, vehicles parked illegally in handicapped spaces, vehicles parked illegally in reserved spaces, vehicles parked illegally in faculty/staff/administrator spaces, or vehicles parked in visitor lots without a proper permit. Vehicles with general or restricted permits may not park overnight and may be towed.
