The Smoke-Free Campus Policy went into effect January 1, 2014 for the Chicago campus. On July 1, 2015 this policy was expanded to comply with the Smoke-Free Campus Act (110 ILCS 64/1-99) which required all campuses in Illinois to institute disciplinary action, fines, and an appeals process.
Appeals must be submitted within fifteen (15) business days of the violation date and the citation must be paid in full before you may file an official appeal. An appeals board made up of faculty, staff, and students will review appeals and other relevant information in making a determination. The Smoking Citation Appeals Board will notify the appellant of their decision within ten (10) business days.
Complete the following form to appeal your smoking citation. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students at dos@uic.edu or 312-996-4857.
