Parking Violations Appeals Boards
Georgia Tech has two Appeals Boards that meet regularly throughout the year to adjudicate appeals submitted by students, faculty, staff and unaffiliated customers. The Student Appeals Board and the Faculty and Staff Appeals Board are staffed by dedicated members of each peer group and both Appeals Boards are empowered to review and render unbiased decisions on all appeals that come before them.
Each Appeals Board has the authority to dispose of a citation in the following manner:
- Upholding the citation(s) completely.
- Upholding the citation(s), but reducing the fine to half of the original amount due.
- Dismissing the citation(s) completely.
Appellants agree (when submitting an appeal) that all decisions made by their respective Appeals Boards are final and binding.
Student Appeals Board
The Student Appeals Board will only hear student appeals. The Board normally meets Monday thru Friday for an hour each day (refer to www.parking.gatech.edu for the posted schedule). Any changes to the schedule will also be posted in a timely manner. Appeals will not be read on the same day they are submitted.
To file an appeal, select the Online Forms menu option on our homepage. Be sure to complete the form entirely as incomplete forms will not be processed. Student appellants are provided the option to select a hearing date in conjunction with their written appeal. If a student appellant desires to appear in person before the Student Appeals Board to present the facts of their written appeal, they can select a hearing date and time that coincides with the posted schedule.
During the hearing, student appellants will be allowed to present facts substantiating their appeal. This presentation will be limited to five (5) minutes. After the presentation, the Appellant will be dismissed and the Board will discuss the facts presented and make a decision. The decision of the Board will be forwarded to the Appellant via e-mail within five (5) business days from the date of the hearing. All decisions made by the Student Appeals Board are final and binding.
Faculty and Staff Appeals Board
