Pay a Violation

Faculty/staff, students, and visitors pay violations online via MavPARK. 

 

Waive a Violation

Faculty/staff and students may elect to have one violation ($30 or less) waived per academic year by filling out the violation and returning it to Parking Services within 30 days. 

Visitors may elect to have two violations ($30 or less) waived per academic year by filling out the violation and returning it to Parking Services within 30 days. 

All other violations must be paid or appealed online. After 30 days, the violation cannot be waived or appealed.  Violations sent to MavLink are NOT able to be waived.

 

Appeal a Violation

Students, faculty/staff and visitors who receive a parking violation at UNO have the option to appeal the violation within 30 days of the issuance of the violation. The appeal should present substantial evidence that the parking violation was not committed, or the occurrence was due to circumstances beyond their control. The appeal process is not a venue for general criticisms, complaints or policy debates. In order to provide a consistent review procedure the following reasons do not meet the Standards for Appeal:

  • Frivolous or Abusive Appeals 
  • Other vehicles were parked improperly
  • Only parked illegally for a short period of time
  • Lack of knowledge of parking reguations 
  • Stated parking enforcement officer did not ticket previously for similar offenses. 
  • Late to class or appointment. 
  • Inability to pay the amount of the fine. 
  • Lack of available parking.
  • No valid permit displayed. 
  • No money to pay for meter parking. 
  • No current UNO permit has been purchased for the faculty/staff or student appealing the violation.
  • Did not register vehicle on account prior to parking on campus
  • Obtained parking information outside of Parking Services 

How to Appeal

  1. Only faculty/staff and students who have purchased a current UNO permit can appeal a violation.
  2. Read and complete all steps of the online appeal process, including an explanation of why the violation is not valid.  There is a 1000 character limit for the appeal note box.
  3. Parking Services will notify you of the appeal decision via UNO email.
  4. If the appeal is denied the outstanding fee for faculty/staff and students will be moved to the MAVLink account the next business day. 
  5. An appeal is forfeited if the violation is paid.  The 20% discount is forfeited if the violation is appealed.

All decisions reached are considered binding and constitute the final disposition of the appeal.

Parking Enforcement

Metered parking is available for visitors ONLY from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. (M-F). Outside of these hours, meters are available to anyone free of charge.  

General use spaces are patrolled from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. (M-TH) and 7 A.M.  to 5 P.M. (F).  A valid permit is required during this time.  After 5 P.M. all valid permits are able to park in general use spaces in all garages and faculty/staff and student lots.

No permit is required on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays and days when campus-wide University classes are not in session. This excludes meters, handicap spaces (without a handicap permit), reserved spaces, visitor lots, loading zones, motorcycle areas, carpool spaces, visitor spaces, driveways and fire lanes.  Exception areas are enforced 24/7.

Fridays offer select zones of no-permit required parking.  All Garages offer no-permit required parking in general use spaces on Fridays.  Scott Campus also offers no-permit required parking in general use spaces in faculty/staff and student surface lots.

 

Nuisance Violators

Once an individual has been issued five (5) or more violations in an academic year and/or has an outstanding balance over 60 days, they have become a nuisance parker. They will be notified that all violations must be paid within two weeks to avoid being towed from campus.  After two weeks, they will be notified again they are now on the tow list and will remain until all outstanding violations and permit fees are paid. Only paying a portion of the outstanding parking fees/fines will not remove them from the tow list.

Vehicle can be towed each time it is parked on campus if there is still an outstanding balance of parking fees/fines. If they owner/driver of the vehicle shows up once the tow truck has arrived, they may be required to pay for all or a portion of the tow bill.

Individuals who stop payment on checks to pay parking fees or fines, or who write insufficient funds checks for parking fees or fines, will automatically be deemed a nuisance violator.

If individual continues to get tickets after paying balance and being removed from the tow list. They will be put back on the tow list and may be banned from parking on campus for six (6) months.
