Parking Information
Student Parking
College parking regulations are enforced 24 hours a day on campus grounds. All California Vehicle Codes will be enforced on campus. All vehicles must be out of the parking lots by 11:00PM.
Lots 1 & 2 require a day pass that can be purchased at the meter in the lot for $2 for the day (ending at 11:00PM). Students may also park here with a general student permit purchased from the Business Office.
Lot 3 requires a preferred parking permit purchased from the Business Office.
Lot 4 is for Faculty/Staff.
No student parking is allowed in the faculty/staff parking lot at any time.
Employee Parking
Employees may park in Employee Parking Lot 4 by permit only. You may pick up your permit from the Sheriff's Office located in the Cesar Chavez Administration Building Breezeway (), room number AD-111 Mondays-Fridays from 8:00 am - 7:00 pm. You will be required to show your Employee ID (Cub Card). If you do not have your Cub Card, please go to the Welcome Center located in the Student Services Building 1st floor () to retrieve one.
Parking permits from any ÓÕ»óÂÜÀò campus are honored at all campuses. If you already have a permit from one college in the district, you will not need another permit.
Employee parking permits do not expire; however, you will be required to return the permit upon leaving the district.
Disabled Placards
Persons with a valid Disabled Placard registered to them will be allowed to park in any valid Student, Faculty/ Staff, and Disabled Parking stalls on campus with a valid student/ staff parking permit. Although persons with a Disabled Placard may park in timed stalls, be advised that stalls in the Child Development Center are marked as reserved and you may be issued a citation.
Motorcycles and Mopeds Parking
Motorcycles and Mopeds may park in the two designated parking areas in Lots 3 and 4.
Motorcycles and mopeds are not required to display a parking permit but MUST park in the designated motorcycle parking spaces. Any motorcycle or moped parked in a parking stall designated for automobiles or parked in any other area not designated for motorcycle or moped parking may be cited and/or impounded.
Motorcycles and mopeds may not park anywhere on campus that is not a designated parking area. Any vehicles parked outside of a designated parking area may be cited and/or impounded.
Overnight and Long-Term Parking
Overnight parking is not allowed unless express consent is granted by the LA City College Vice President of Administrative Services. Vehicles parked on campus or in parking lots in excess of 72 hours may be considered abandoned and may be subject to impound (22651 (k) CVC).
Weekend & Holiday Parking
Parking regulations are enforced on weekends and holidays, and parking permits are required in all parking lots. Inner campus parking is controlled at all times.
Visitor & Community Service Student Parking
Visitors and Community Service students must display their permits clearly in the front window. All Community Services students and instructors must park in Lot #1. Authorized visitors may obtain a temporary (one-day) parking pass from the College Sheriff's office.
Street Parking
Please be considerate of the college's neighbors when parking on the street; keep the noise level low and don't litter. Street parking around the perimeter of the campus is limited. Read the signs carefully to avoid a municipal citation. Metered parking is available on the west border of the campus on Heliotrope. (There is no parking after 6 PM on the residential side of Heliotrope.) Vehicles parked at a broken or nonfunctional parking meter may be subject to citation. Vehicles with parking permits must also pay if parked in a metered parking stall or space.
Security
Like most urban campuses, thieves are attracted to parked vehicles. So be sure to lock doors when you leave the car. Be careful not to leave tempting objects like purses, backpacks, radios, etc., in visible places in your car (e.g., on the seat). Security will be present at the entrance to the lot and patrolling from 7:30 AM to 10:00 PM each school day. Security cameras also monitor the lots.
Campus Event Requests
As we have limited parking on campus, the timing of events can create a bottleneck for staff who are trying to get to class to teach, or arrive timely for work. If your program or department is considering having a campus event that requires guest parking, please use the following link to request parking for your event: guestparking@lacitycollege.edu
