Student Traffic Court

If you feels that you have received a citation in error, you may request to attend Student Traffic Court. It is recommended that the traffic citation still be paid immediately even if an appeal is filed. If an appeal is won, the fine will be reimbursed. Failure to pay the $25 fine in the initial 30 day window will result in the fine doubling to $50.

What is Student Traffic Court?

Student Traffic Court is made up of an odd number of members of the Student Government Association, the student governing body on Campus. They will hear (or read) the case of the student requesting the appeal and make a fair judgment based on the evidence provided. After filing an appeal you will have a judgment within five business days of when Student Traffic Court convenes. The Court will meet as needed a maximum of two times per month.
