Your right to appeal
The process for appealing a citation is established by Section 40215 of the California
Vehicle Code. There are legal time frames for the submission of appeals. To preserve
your right to appeal a citation, we highly recommend that you submit your appeal
in a timely manner.
First level: Administrative Review
You may request an administrative review within 21 days of citation issuance, or
within 21 days of the mailing date of a Notice of Delinquent Parking Violation.
Requests submitted after 21 days will not be processed.
Second level: Administrative Hearing
If you are not satisfied with the results of your initial appeal, you may request
an administrative hearing within 21 days from the mailing or emailing date of the
results. Requests submitted after 21 days will not be processed. The hearings are
conducted by a trained hearing examiner employed by the University Police Department.
For your convenience, an Administrative Hearing Request Form may be downloaded here.
Third level: Superior Court
If you are not satisfied with the results of the second-level administrative hearing,
you can file an appeal with the Superior Court within 30 days from the mailing or
emailing date of the hearing results. The Superior Court requires a $25.00 court
filing fee.
