As we work our way through the first week of the quarter, we wanted to take this opportunity to provide some tips from the Department of Safety & Security.
Parking The first 2 calendar weeks of Fall Quarter 2025 (Sept. 24 – Oct. 3) is the official grace period for students to purchase their quarterly permits. During this time, citations will not be issued for lack of parking permit (Visitor Lot violations, ADA violations, parking in multiple stalls, parking in assigned spots/lots, and other illegal and hazardous violations will still be cited). You may still find warnings on your vehicle instructing you to purchase a permit, but you will not be cited for lack of a permit during this period.
Beginning Monday, Oct. 6, 2025, permits are required to park on campus weekdays during the quarter, Monday – Friday from 6:00am – 4:00pm, excluding holidays. Citations with fines are issued for ADA violations, PCC parking violations, Visitor Lot violations, hazardous driving violations, lack of parking permit, and other illegal/hazardous (fire lane, blocking roadway, not parked in a parking stall, etc.).
Students can purchase parking permits in Student Finance (aka Cashiers), located on the second Floor of Bldg. 5000 (FOSS). When purchasing your permit, you will need to provide your vehicle make, model, and license plate number. Daily permits are also available for purchase at our campus pay station located on the Main Walkway in-between Bldg. 1000 and Bldg. 7000. Students can also visit the Safety & Security website to learn about the no-cost Student Carpool Parking Permits.
