What actually gets reported at University of Montevallo
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Fondling and Rape. Fondling accounts for most of them.
The remaining 9 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Cost context
Where University of Montevallo sits on price and outcomes
At $17,683, University of Montevallo's reported average net price is cheaper than 62% among 65 Alabama colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,258.

- Alabama median
- 1.5×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,402
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $14,471 for families reporting under $30,000 against $21,873 above $110,000, a difference of $7,402. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $17,683 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $35,406 run about 2.0 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
