Parking
Citations and Fines
Violation of any provision of the University Parking and Traffic Regulations will result in the issuance of a citations.
Citations should be paid immediately at the Cashier’s window on the 2nd floor of Palmer Hall.
Parking regulations apply equally to students, faculty and staff. If five (5) or more parking citations are issued to faculty/staff that are unpaid after thirty days will be referred to the appropriate dean or, in the case of staff, to the immediate supervisor. If an attempt is not made to rectify the parking citations a wheel-locking device (boot) may be applied to the vehicle. In order for that boot to be removed a $25.00 boot removal fee and all tickets have to be paid in full and purchase a parking permit at the cashier’s office and a receipt brought to the University Police Department.
Students who accumulate five (5) or more parking citations a semester will be subject to disciplinary action. A wheel-locking device (boot) may be applied to the student’s vehicle at anytime during that semester after five (5) or more parking citation has been issued. In order to have the boot removed a $25.00 boot removal fee and all tickets have to be paid in full at the cashier’s office and a receipt brought to the University Police Department. After a boot has been applied and removed in that semester, you are not allowed another parking citation. If you are ticketed again in that semester, you will appear before the University of Montevallo Justice Counsel. Any ticket issued thereafter will result in your vehicle being towed at owner’s expense.
Vehicles parked on campus without a parking permit which cannot be identified or assigned to a student, faculty, or staff member, will be subject to towing and impoundment, a boot can be applied, after five (5) or more citations in a semester are issued. Before the boot is removed, the responsible person must pay the boot removal fee, the unpaid citations and purchase a parking permit.
When a wheel locking device is applied to a vehicle and remains on the vehicle for more than 24 hours, the vehicle can be towed and impoundment at the owner/driver’s expense.
The University is not liable for any damage to vehicles occurring during towing, impoundment, or when immobilized through the use of a wheel lock.
