Traffic, Parking and Appeals

The following information pertaining to traffic are only portions of a complete booklet of Traffic and Parking Regulations. A copy of the booklet may be obtained at the University Police Department at 3811 DeSiard Street. The Traffic and Parking Regulations have been adopted by the Traffic and Parking Committee. They are designed for safer and maximum utilization of space and for a more orderly flow of vehicular traffic on campus. The operation of a vehicle on the ULM campus is a privilege granted by the institution. Serious or excessive violations can result in the loss of this privilege as well as disciplinary action. ULM assumes no responsibility for the care or protection of any vehicle or its contents at any time, including the time it is parked in any campus parking area. The Traffic Code of the City of Monroe establishing rules and regulations for vehicular traffic of all kinds is applicable. The Traffic Regulations are applicable to all faculty, staff, students and visitors who operate vehicles on the campus and are enforced every day of the year regardless of classes not being in session.

Each and every motor vehicle operated on campus by a person in ANY WAY connected with the University MUST be registered with the University Police Department immediately. The following information and documents will be needed when registering vehicles at the University Police Department:

Faculty and staff registration is valid until notification of change is given. Student registration must be accomplished for each semester and the summer session.

Student registration is valid for the entire year if you register your vehicle in the fall, pay your fees and state that you desire yearly registration. Otherwise, the vehicle must be registered each semester and summer. Refunds will not be given for vehicle registration fees.

If a student wishes to register a bicycle, the student must fill out appropriate papers with the University Police Department. Bicycles shall be driven on roadways only; they are not to be operated on sidewalks at any time. All bicycles driven and kept on the ULM campus should additionally adhere to rules published in the Traffic and Parking Regulations Booklet.

Any appeals   to Traffic and Parking citations, fines, and fees will be made through the Director of University Police in accordance with the ULM Collegiate Due Process System.
