Appeals Calendar

person is accused of violating of any of the University of Mississippi
parking/driving regulations:
(1) Such persons shall be entitled to a hearing before the Board of Traffic
Appeals appointed by the Chancellor of the University of Mississippi for the
hearing of such cases. Student cases are to be heard by the Student Board of
Traffic Appeals, faculty/staff cases are to be heard by the Faculty Staff Board
of Traffic Appeals.
(2) Such persons shall further be entitled to receive notice in writing at
least three (3) days prior to the hearing and such notice shall set forth
charges with sufficient particularity and clarity to enable the accused to
prepare a reasonable defense.
(3) Such persons shall further be entitled to know the names of witnesses who
are directly responsible for having reported the alleged violation to the Board
of Traffic Appeals; or if there be no such witnesses to be fully informed of the
manner in which the violation came to attention of such Board.
(4) Appeals are to be presented no later than the day specified on the face of
the ticket. If a person is unable to come before the Board of Traffic Appeals on
the day specified on the ticket, an appeal in writing may be sent to the Board
of Traffic Appeals. This written appeal must be received prior to the day
specified on the ticket for the hearing. There is an appeal form at UPD.

accompanied and represented by legal counsel or by law advisor provided,

rules of procedure of such Board shall be followed; but in no case shall the
Board consider matter not introduced in evidence at the hearing.

notice in writing of the time and place to appear for an administrative hearing
shall be considered to have waived the right to such a hearing.
