Parking violation appeals
If you have received a parking violation that you feel is not fair or correct, there are a few steps that are available to help make that determination and resolve the matter.
You don't have to file an appeal to be heard
Very often a person who gets a ticket does not want to file an appeal, but wants to make their concerns known. You can submit a message to Ancillary Services at cam-motion@camosun.bc.ca, where a member of the College will be actively receiving and replying to messages.
Step by Step appeal process
Step 1: Direct your complaint/appeal to Robbins Parking Services Directly. See Robbins Parking Below.
Step 2: If the resolution of your complaint/appeal with Robbins is not satisfactory, submit a formal appeal to the Camosun Appeals Committee as outlined further below.
