Administrative citations are designed to help reduce and address impacts to safety within our community outside of the criminal justice system. A ticket number that starts with CU-A, also called a Notice of Violation, is issued for violations such as Possessing or Consuming Alcohol by Minors, Fraudulent ID and Noise Violation. These violations are reviewed and adjudicated through the Student Conduct process, not through the municipal court system.
Paying Your Ticket
Students have 30 days from date issued to pay the total ticket amount (Note: there may be more than one violation listed - must pay total fine amount).
Appealing Your Ticket
Students who wish to appeal must go through the Student Conduct resolution process. If the Student Conduct resolution process finds a student "not responsible" for the violation, information about the appeal process will be included in the decision letter. The fine will be removed by CU Police Records.
Record of the ticket remains and may still be visible on certain types of background checks.
A ticket number starting with CU-T, also called a Notice of Traffic Offense, is issued for violations such as Speeding, Failure to Stop at a Stop Sign and Failure to Yield to Pedestrian. These violations must be paid within 30 days of issuance or may be appealed. Additional fees will apply if appeal is denied.
Paying Your Ticket
Students have 30 days from date issued to pay the total ticket amount (Note: there may be more than one violation listed - must pay total fine amount).
Appealing Your Ticket
Traffic Offense tickets may be appealed in limited cases. The following will not be accepted for appeals:
- Lack of knowledge or understanding of the violated regulation
- You don't agree with the regulation
- Cannot afford the fine
- Did not see the traffic sign or signal
- Don't recognize the authority of the University of Colorado to issue these types of tickets
- Didn't like the way the officer talked to or treated me
If you have a reason for appeal not not listed above, you may appeal in the portal.
- If you make an appeal and the appeal is denied, you will be charged an additional $10 processing fee.
- If appeal is approved before payment of the fine, fine will be removed by CU Police Records. Students who have already paid the fine can request a refund at CU Police Records, 1050 Regent Dr. 2nd floor.
- If appeal is denied, student must include an additional $10 fee at the time of payment.
