This warning may include campus e-mails, campus hand mail and postings in residence halls. Timely warnings are not required when crimes are reported to a pastoral or professional counselor. Currently no polices or procedures are in effect at the University of Montevallo which allow victims or witnesses to report crimes on a volunteer confidential basis for the annual disclosure of crime statistics. All buildings are secured as soon as possible after offices close or, in the case of a classroom building, after the last class of the day. The University of Montevallo Police work closely with department chairs and building administrators to maximize security coverage and ensure appropriate access controls.
Police officers make regular checks of each building to ensure that the buildings remain secure.
All student residence halls are locked 24 hours a day and monitored by University Police through an electronic door access system. Only residents of a building have access through the use of their student ID cards. Guest in a residence hall must be admitted and escorted at all times while visiting in the building. Maintenance of Campus Facilities Maintenance issues, which affect safety and security, receive a high priority listing for completion. Periodically surveys are conducted to identify areas on campus in need of additional lighting.
