Traffic Regulations
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 processed the same as you would appeal a parking citation. A person must
fill out an Appeal Form at the office of the Director of Student Life in Farmer
Hall within 10 school days of receiving the citation.
