In some instances the University
Police Department may, at the officer's discretion, issue a UMPD citation for
various offenses. These citations are setup to provide guidance to the students
without placing criminal charges on their records. All individuals that are
cited may appeal the citation through the University's Justice Council.
Non-Compliance Citations are in accordance with the University of Montevallo
Code of Conduct and can be issued to any student, faculty, or staff for any
incident that occurs on the campus of the University of Montevallo during which
any Alabama State Law, Montevallo City Ordinance, or Student Conduct Code is
found to be in violation. A report may be filed with the University Police Officer
who issues a Non-Compliance Citation which, in turn, may result in a Justice
Council Hearing for the person who receives the citation.
The lack of familiarity with these regulations does not constitute a valid
defense for failure to comply.
Fines should be paid immediately at the
Cashier’s Office, 2nd floor, Palmer Hall or on-line through Banner Self-Service.
Failure to pay fines will result in holds placed on student accounts, which will
cause restrictions upon registration.

Any student, staff or faculty who receives a Non-Compliance Citation has the right
to appeal to the Appeals Committee. To appeal, a person must complete and submit
an Appeal Form online within ten (10) school days of the citation date. The
Appeals Form can be found online under the Student Life or the University of
Montevallo Public Safety web pages. When the Appeals Committee receives an
appeal, the person appealing will be notified by mail of the date and time to
appear for a hearing. Should the fine not be paid or an appeal not be filed
within 10 school days of the citation date, the right to appeal will be
forfeited.
