Parking Guidelines

Parking on Campus

Student parking regulations are enforced starting the first day of class each semester through final examinations. A student parking decal is valid for the current academic term only and must be displayed at all times a vehicle is parked on college property. Parking rules apply on Saturdays and Sundays in the same manner as weekdays.

Parking decals are made of removable mylar and should be affixed to the inside rear or front window (lower right or left side, facing outward). For vehicles with tinted windows, it is the vehicle owner’s responsibility to ensure the decal is clearly visible. Vehicles displaying expired, altered, lost, stolen, or obscured decals are subject to citation.

A valid college parking decal and a DMV placard must be displayed on any vehicle parked in a designated handicapped stall (EDC § 67301).

Regulations governing handicapped parking, red curbs, no-parking zones, fire lanes, special permit areas, and areas that have parking time limitations are enforced 24 hours a day, including weekends and holidays. Failure to display a valid parking decal or parking in unauthorized areas, including staff lots, reserved spaces, or non-designated student areas, may result in citations or towing at the owner’s expense.

All traffic laws must be obeyed. Vehicles must be parked in stalls within the designated lines. The college speed limit is 7 miles per hour.
