Appeals

Parking Citation Appeals

An appeal for each citation issued must be submitted in writing or online within five working days of the date on the citation or the right to appeal is forfeited. If an appeal is denied, payment will be due upon receipt of the notification letter.

An appeal is based on extenuating circumstances and should not be filed if an individual has clearly failed to observe the University parking rules and regulations. The following are examples of situations not considered acceptable grounds for appeals:

• Ignorance of Regulations
• Running Late
• Financial Hardship
• Failure to Receive Ticket
• Parking illegally for just a few minutes
• Parking illegally because others are doing the same
• Students parking in 2hr Visitor or Handicap spaces for convenience
• Bad Weather or Darkness

Appeals decision outcomes:  

• Appeal Accepted
• Appeal Denied-Fine Reduced
• Appeal Denied

Under extenuating circumstances, appeals for having the parking privilege reinstated may be presented to Parking Appeals. Students must contact the Tickets and Appeals Manager for information and deadlines for submitting this type of appeal.

Submit an Appeal

Parking appeals can be submitted online through https://longwood.aimsparking.com. Sign in to the AIMS portal with your LancerNet ID and password. If you do not have Longwood credentials, you can submit an appeal using the ticket number or license plate of the vehicle. Appeal forms are also available at the Campus Police Department in Dorrill Hall.

Attachments such as pictures, receipts, repair and wrecker bills may be included with the appeal if it is believed that evidence will have a bearing on the case.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
