1. Lack of parking regulation knowledge is not a valid reason for an appeal. Students, faculty and staff are responsible for becoming familiar with University parking policy and regulations. Visitors are responsible for following regulations on posted signs.
   
2. Failure to find a parking space is not an excuse to violate parking regulations. Possession of a parking permit is not a guarantee of an available parking space, but authorization to park if a legal space is available.
3. Owners of vehicles registered with the SD School of Mines and Technology will be responsible for all tickets on their vehicles, including parking violations committed by other persons operating the vehicle with the owner's permission. However, the person who parked in error may acknowledge and accept financial responsibility for the violation.

How to Appeal a Ticket
