Ticket Appeals

When violation of any rule or regulation set forth in the Delta State University Police Department Handbook has been clearly established by waiver, voluntary admission, and /or by an official hearing, the offender shall be subject to a special administrative fee and/or shall be subject to disciplinary action. However, any student who receives a Citation has the right to appeal. The deadline for a Citation Appeal is seven (7) business days from the Citation issue date. If the Citation is unpaid after seven (7) days and is not submitted for appeal, the Citation is subject to be turned over for collection.
