Oh I have no idea if it was a police officer, I just assumed some sort of campus security officer. Okay here is the part online talking about this:
Initial Review: To Contest a Citation at the First Level
For a period of 21 calendar days from the issuance of a parking citation or 14 days from the date of the first notice of parking violation, you may appeal the violation(s). There is no charge for this appeal.
You may request information on how to appeal by phone, but your appeal and the reasons supporting it must be submitted in writing.
If after the review, it is determined that the violation did not occur; that the registered owner was not responsible for the violation or that the extenuating circumstances make dismissal of the violation appropriate in the interest of justice; the violation shall be canceled and the results of the review shall be mailed to the appellant.
If after the review, it is determined that the violation did occur and the registered owner is responsible for the violation, the results of the review shall be mailed to the appellant with information on how to pay or appeal for a hearing.
To contest the Citation at the second level, Administrative Hearing
(b) If the person is dissatisfied with the results of the initial review, the person may request an administrative hearing of the violation no later than 21 calendar days following the mailing of the results of the issuing agency's initial review. The request may be made in writing or online through
www.CitationProcessingCenter.com
. The person requesting an administrative hearing shall deposit the amount of the parking penalty with the processing agency. The issuing agency shall provide a written procedure to allow a person to request an administrative hearing without payment of the parking penalty upon satisfactory proof of an inability to pay the amount due. Notice of this procedure shall be provided to all persons requesting an administrative hearing. After January 1, 1996, an administrative hearing shall be held within 90 calendar days following the receipt of a request for an administrative hearing, excluding time tolled pursuant to this article. The person requesting the hearing may request one continuance, not to exceed 21 calendar days.
(c) The administrative hearing process shall include the following:
(1) The person requesting a hearing shall have the choice of a hearing by mail or in person. An in-person hearing shall be conducted within the jurisdiction of the issuing agency. If an issuing agency contracts with an administrative provider, hearings shall be held within the jurisdiction of the issuing agency or no more than 21 miles outside the county.
(2) If the person requesting a hearing is a minor, that person shall be permitted to appear at a hearing or admit responsibility for the parking violation without the necessity of the appointment of a guardian. The processing agency may proceed against the minor in the same manner as against an adult.
(3) The administrative hearing shall be conducted in accordance with written procedures established by the issuing agency and approved by the governing body or chief executive officer of the issuing agency. The hearing shall provide an independent, objective, fair, and impartial review of contested parking violations.

I submitted my initial appeal online and it looks like they rejected it because it says online "upheld - review. Hold until xx/xx/2017."
It sounds like the second one is a lot of work... I have to pay the ticket online, and then do an administrative hearing. Any suggestions?
