Citation Payments

The registered vehicle owner is ultimately responsible for a parking citation (including lost, stolen or damaged citations) whether or not the owner was operating the vehicle at the time the citation was issued.

Citations are delivered by placing them on a vehicle, by email (for registered vehicles), and/or by postal mail. Citations must be paid within 14 days of the issuance of the citation. Payments should be made online through the Parking Portal. Fines not paid or appealed within 14 days will result in a HOLD placed on a student account, or a possible wage garnishment for KSU employees.

Appeals

All appeals must be made through the Parking Portal and received within 14 days of citation issuance. Appeals may not be made by email, phone, or in person. If a citation is appealed within 14 days, any associated fines will be frozen until the appeal is adjudicated. Fines will not transfer to Banner, nor will they come due during this period of review. Citations older than 14 days cannot be appealed.

Appeal Approved: The associated citation will be voided and any associated fines will be reduced to $0.

Appeal Denied: The associated citation stands, and the initial fine remains the responsibility of the registered vehicle owner.

Visitor Appeals

All visitor appeals may be appealed through the Parking Portal within 14 days of citation issuance. If a citation is appealed within 14 days, any associated fines will be frozen until the appeal is adjudicated. Fines will not come due during this period of review. After 14 days, the citation may no longer be appealed. 

Appeal Approved: The associated citation will be voided and any associated fines will be reduced to $0.

Appeal Denied: The associated citation stands, and the initial fine remains the responsibility of the registered vehicle owner.

Citation Collections and Vehicle Tracing

All unpaid citations are subject to collections and/or University policies.

Owner's addresses will be obtained for collection purposes. Any corresponding fees associated with tracing vehicles will be passed along to the respective vehicle owner.
