In an effort to improve student equity and success, the Board of Trustees has temporarily approved the distribution of free semester-length student parking permits to all registered students. This fee waiver will be in effect starting with the Spring 2023 semester and continuing through the Spring of 2024.
To receive a semester-length permit at no cost, students must order their permit by first logging into the student portal and then using the “Parking Permit” ordering link found within the portal. Using the link in the portal is necessary to ensure that your student status is confirmed, and the permit fee waived at checkout. Your student ID number, car make, model, year, and license plate number are required at time of order. A printable temporary permit will be immediately provided by email if the permit ordered is currently in use.
All permits must be displayed on the front dashboard and the entire permit, including the expiration date, must be visible from the outside of the vehicle.
One-day “Daily” parking permits may be purchased at any of the daily permit dispensers located in all parking lots. Daily permits are $3.00 per day and all dispensers will accept cash, coins, and credit cards.
Visitors that come to campus frequently may choose to purchase a semester-length student parking permit.
Parking Regulations
A valid student, staff, or one-day “daily” visitor parking permit is required to park on campus. Student and visitor parking permit requirements are enforced Monday through Sunday, between 7:00 AM and 10:00 PM.
Purchase and/or possession of a permit does not authorize parking on campus. It is the responsibility of the driver to properly park the vehicle and to properly display a valid and authorized permit. Vehicles with car covers are no exception.
Restricted areas, including disabled parking, red zones, loading zones, staff parking, and time zones, are enforced every day, 24-hours a day. Overnight parking is prohibited without prior authorization from the District Police.
Visitors who will be on campus for a brief visit may take advantage of a limited number of free forty (40) minute time zone parking stalls located in parking lot 5. Visitors planning a longer visit to campus should purchase a one-day “daily” parking permit at any of the daily permit dispensers located throughout the parking lots.
Motorcycles and other two-wheeled vehicles are prohibited from parking in spaces designated for four-wheel vehicles. Designated motorcycle parking is available in parking lots 2, 3, 5, and 7. No parking permit is required for two-wheeled vehicles.
All individuals who are disabled (as defined in the California Vehicle Code Section 295.5) and use a designated disabled parking stall must display a valid placard or specialized license plates issued by the DMV. Failure to display a valid placard or plate may result in a citation and fine.
Students or Staff members who have special parking or loading needs must make arrangements with Parking Services in advance. Business cards or notes left on the vehicle are not acceptable and a citation may result. No warnings are issued.
Stolen permits should be immediately reported to the District Police Department by calling 408-855-5435 or by visiting the Police business office located adjacent to the athletic facilities. Lost permits will not be replaced free of charge, however, a replacement permit may be purchased at the original purchase price.
Electric vehicle charging stations, also known as “E.V.” stalls, are located in Parking Lots 2, 4, 5 and 7. Students, staff, and visitors are welcome to use the charging stations; however, a valid student, staff, or one-day visitor parking permit must be displayed on the vehicle while it is parked in an “E.V.” charging stall.
Semester-length parking permit refund requests must be made in accordance with the refund schedule identified by Admissions. For permits purchased in-person at the Admissions Office, please take your permit to the Admissions Office to request a refund. For permits purchased online and mailed to your home, please take your permit to the District Police office.
