Ticket Appeal Process

Tickets may be appealed within 7 days of the date issued.  An appeal form must be submitted for consideration and must be delivered to Public Safety or sent via fax to (847) 735-6269.  All appeals will be responded to via e-mail so be sure to include one.

Please note that the following violations may not be appealed:

  • Parking too close to a fire hydrant (15-foot distance);
  • Blocking any fire lane;
  • Parking so as to block the entrance to a building delivery area, service area for linen or garbage, and other truck or loading zones;
  • Parking so as to block a roadway;
  • Citations issued after revocation of permit;
  • Citations received for parking on the wrong campus; and
  • Citations received for parking in handicap zones.

Once a decision is rendered, there are no provisions through the Department of Public Safety for appeal of an unfavorable appeal decision.  Therefore, please be certain to include all relevant information you wish to be considered relative to your appeal.
