The Monmouth University Police Department is responsible for the enforcement of traffic and parking regulations. The police department is authorized to issue warnings and citations. Students and employees are required to stop and identify themselves to a police officer if so requested. Students and employees are also required to obey the parking instructions of police officers and safety officers.
University Citations
University citations must be paid online.
Municipal Citations
Municipal citations issued by the University police are answerable in the appropriate municipal court and cannot be appealed through the Monmouth University Police Department. Local street parking restrictions are enforced by municipal police officers, and all summonses issued by municipal police should be returned to the appropriate municipal court.
Appeals
To appeal a University citation, you must fill out the Appeal Form. Appeals may be submitted via the internet or in writing.
The appeal must be submitted within five days from the issue date of the citation. The appellant will receive a determination via email. If you fail to appeal within five days, your right to appeal is forfeited.
Forgetfulness, parking for only a short period, not seeing the signs, and parking in a handicapped parking space without the proper authorization are unacceptable grounds for an appeal. Any appeal submitted on these grounds will be denied.
Unpaid Fines
If parking and/or traffic fines are not paid within 14 days from the date of the citation, a nonnegotiable late fee of $25 will be assessed. University officials will be notified to take whatever action is appropriate.
Suspension of Campus Driving and Parking Privileges
If an individual receives four or more summonses and fails to pay those summonses, that individual’s University driving and parking privileges will be suspended, registration will be blocked. In order for these privileges to be restored and the registration block removed, all fines must be paid in full.
