The lack of familiarity with these regulations does not constitute a valid defense for failure to comply.

The University Police Department has concurrent jurisdiction with the Montevallo City Police Department and the University Police Department enforces all Alabama Traffic Rules and Regulations on and off campus.

 
The University Police Department has the option of issuing an Alabama Uniform Traffic Citation (UTC). The Uniform Traffic Citation is processed through the Montevallo Municipal Court on the citation's designated date and time. Failure to pay or appear in the Montevallo Municipal Court will result in a warrant for your arrest.

 

The University Police Department also has the option of issuing an On Campus Traffic Citation (OCTC) for minor traffic offenses. The On Campus Citation is applicable to persons on University property. The On Campus Traffic Citation can be paid the same as all other fines. To appeal, a person must submit an appeal within (10) school days of citation date. SEE APPEAL PROCEDURES.

 

Should the fine not be paid or an appeal not filed within the ten school days, the right to appeal will be forfeited and a hold could be placed on your account.

 

Campus Speed Limit is 20 M.P.H.
