- “I admit I was illegally parked, but I was only gone a few minutes”
- “I knew it was a no-parking zone, but cars park there all the time and never get ticketed”
- “I didn’t know I couldn’t park there”
- “I was ill and had to use the restroom”
You will need to know the following to view/appeal a Ticket/Citation:
- Your User ID is the same as your ABAC ID (918######)
- You will also need to know your Ticket/Citation Number
- When you requested a permit you agreed to the Parking Regulations
- You are not allowed to appeal tickets for parking in Faculty/Staff spaces, Disability spaces, or fire zones.

*Please note: The ruling of the Traffic Appeals Committee is final and binding. If a student wishes to dispute a Traffic Appeals Committee decision the student will have five days from the date of the Traffic Appeals Committee hearing to appeal the decision with the Dean of Students in writing. The second appeal is not designed to simply rehear the same evidence and arguments. The student must show that the treatment of the case by the Traffic Appeals Committee was either a violation of due process and/or student rights, or that prejudicial treatment was shown by the original hearing body. The appeal must be submitted in writing to deanofstudents@abac.edu during the five-day period. The decision of the Traffic Appeals Committee stands if the student fails to submit the written appeal within the allotted time to deanofstudents@abac.edu. There is NO appeal beyond the Dean of Students. For further information, students can refer to the Student Code of Conduct.
