Appeals are reviewed by the committee once a month, are judged blind, and all decisions are final and not subject to further review. 


5.  Repeated violations will result in disciplinary action, which may include but is not limited to: referral to the Student Conduct system, revocation of campus parking privileges, vehicle immobilization, or towing (see boot and towing policy).
