Citation Payment and Appeal

Paying a Citation

Citations can be paid securely:

• Online through the Canes Parking Portal. Click here to access your account.
• In-Person: Credit card or check - 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM (Monday - Friday). Visit the office.

Payment Methods

We are currently only accepting credit cards (Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover) as payment methods. Cash/checks NOT accepted.

Important Notes

• Payment must be submitted by the deadline listed on the citation.
• Failure to pay or appeal within the required timeframe may result in late fees, immobilization, collection notices, or additional enforcement action.

The Process

The University of Miami provides a fair and impartial citation appeal process. Parking citations can only be appealed within 15 calendar days of the citation issuance.

Once the appeal is submitted and processed, the appellant is not required to take any further action until the appeal is judged and a decision issued. The appellant will be notified of the decision via e-mail within 2-4 weeks from receipt of the appeal.

How to Appeal

• Appeals must be submitted online within the timeframe indicated on the citation.
• Supporting documentation may be included.
• Appeals are reviewed by an independent review authority.

Important Notes

• Submitting an appeal temporarily places the citation on hold until a decision is issued.
• Appeal decisions are final.
• Citations upheld after appeal must be paid promptly to avoid escalation.

Being late does not allow the driver the privilege of parking illegally.

It is the driver’s responsibility to locate legal parking.

A short stay does not mitigate the violation and does not allow the driver the privilege of parking illegally.

Vehicles that are found in violation of parking rules are cited. The fact that a given vehicle may not be cited is not permission for another to violate the parking policy.

Prior lack of enforcement in no way constitutes a valid excuse for illegal parking.

This is not an acceptable excuse for illegal parking.

Citations are considered legally delivered when placed on the vehicle windshield or receipt by mail.
