Emergency Blue Phones

Emergency Campus Phone

Emergency telephones, easily identified at night by the bright blue lights located on top of a red pole marked emergency, are located in lots A2, A4, A7, A10, A10 (overflow), entrance to the conferene halls, and behind the Bell Tower (South Quad) for emergency use. If you need to report a suspicious incident, medical emergency, or request immediate police assistance, simply activate an emergency phone by pressing the red call for help button. Once depressed, the call is immediately linked to the University 911 Police Dispatch Center that indicates the location of origin. Speak clearly into the microphone while stating the exact nature of the emergency. The police dispatcher will summon assistance to the location. In the event a caller does not respond or is unable to speak; a University police officer will be immediately dispatched to the location to investigate. Each emergency telephone is inspected and tested by police officers on a monthly basis.

For emergencies, dial 9–1–1
For non-emergencies, dial ext. 8888

Citation Appeals


Appeal of Citation

Parking citation appeal forms must be filed within 21 calendar days from the issue date of the citation or 14 calendar days from the mailing of a notice of delinquent parking violation. Appeal forms may be requested in person, in writing, or by phone from TPS; however, the completed form must be received within the allotted time. TPS will have the citation reviewed and will notify the contestant of the results by mail. The following reasons are not considered for appeal:

  • Ignorance of parking rules and regulations
  • Failure to see/read signage
  • Failure to locate a parking space, parking or stopping for a short period of time
  • Expired meter/time (not related to a mechanical malfunction)
  • Expiration of appeal time-period

Appeals received after the 21-day period or 14 calendar days from the mailing of a notice of delinquent parking violation, are not eligible for a review and will be returned. Contestants must contact the Parking Services Office if they have not received a response to an appeal within 21 days of filing. Contestants are still responsible for the citation, even if they do not receive the response form. CSUCI follows the procedures for contesting parking violations as stated in the California Vehicle Code, Section 40215.

Administrative Hearings

To contest the results of the initial citation review, contestants have 21 calendar days from the "Disposition Mailed" date to request an Administrative Hearing. A request for an Administrative Hearing can be made in writing or in person. The person requesting a hearing shall have the choice of a hearing by mail or in person (C.V.C. 40215(c)). In addition, the full amount of the parking penalty due must accompany the written request. Requests that do not meet the required deadline or include the full payment of the parking penalty will not be eligible for further review, and the decision of the issuing officer will stand. The citation will be processed pursuant to California Vehicle Code, Section 40220(a).
