Citations issued for violations are payable as follows:

• Citations received while transporting, visiting, or otherwise serving the convenience of any employee or student will, in all cases, be charged to the recipient of the service.
• The person to whom a vehicle is registered is responsible for that vehicle and all citations issued thereto. If the person operating the vehicle is other than the registrant when a violation is committed, both the driver and the registrant may be cited.
• Employees citations are payable within thirty (30) days at the Cashier's Office.
• Employee appeals may be made by submitting an appeal form to the Faculty/Staff Appeals Committee. The form can be obtained from the Campus Police Office and must be submitted within seventy-two (72) hours after the issuance of the citation.
• The failure of an employee to pay a College-issued citation will result in an account receivable being set up and processed pursuant to Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) Guideline B-010.

The form can be obtained from the Police Services/Public Safety office and must be submitted within seventy-two (72) hours after the issuance of the citation (excluding holidays and weekends).
