STUDENT RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, SAFETY Appeals of Violation Notices or Impounds A Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) appointed by the Dean of Student Engagement and Retention helps assure fairness in the issuance of parking Violation Notices and vehicle impounds. The findings of the SJC are final. A person who receives a Violation Notice, or whose vehicle has been impounded, may request an appeal. The appeal is handled through the Student Government Association (SGA). If the Student Judiciary Committee (SJC) finds a vehicle was improperly impounded, the Violation Notice/Citation and towing/impounding expenses incurred by the individual whose vehicle was impounded will be reimbursed by the College. All requests for appeal must be filed within 10 working days from the issuance of the Violation Notice. The Violation Notice or a copy of the notice must be attached to the appeal form. A person who fails to file the request within this time period waives the right to appeal. Appeals for which 10-day deadline falls within the winter break shall carry over into the beginning of the spring semester. The appeals committee may summon the individual who issued the Violation Notice or performed the vehicle impound if he/she is available to assist the committee. All appeals will be heard within 15 working days of the date an appeal is requested. Appeals for which the 15-working-day deadline falls within the winter break shall carry over into the beginning of the spring semester.
