Well there goes a misconcept.

University Police can arrest you, can do search warrants, anything.

What they will usually do, is, if you don't pay your fine(s) they will put a boot on your car, and notify DMV, so when you try to register your car for the year, they won't let you unless you pay the fines off. Who knows, it could also yield to an arrest warrant?
