2023 Parking InformationThe virtual parking permit system is live. Students are expected to purchase a permit to park on campus before the start of the 2023 Spring Term.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local campus safety office at (714) 564-6330. Although our campus is relatively crime free, the number one type of problem is motor vehicle related theft. Please read our
advisory carefully. Please refer to the
CAMPUS MAP for parking assignments: Visitor parking is 1/2 hour only. The
campus map also shows where day permit dispensers are located. While at SAC you must adhere to the following Rules and Regulations.
Parking Rules and Regulations All parking on campus property requires possession of a valid parking permit at all times. Possession of a parking permit does not guarantee the availability of a parking space. Parking is authorized only in those areas designated for the type of permit issued. Parking must be in full accordance with the signs posted and/or these written regulations. Student permits are valid in student lots only.

All vehicles parked on our campuses (except for 30 minute visitor parking) must posess a valid parking permit. There are two options, either purchase a semester parking permit, currently $30 , online through Self-Service or visitors can purchase a $2 daily parking permit which allows parking in any student parking lot for that day. Failure to purchase a parking permit may result in a citation being issued. Guest ParkingGuest permits are available for purchase on a daily, weekly, monthly, or term(16 weeks) basis online at https://rsccd.thepermitportal.com/. Refunds
Once purchased, refunds for parking permits are made only if classes are dropped during the first two weeks. Citations
The Campus Safety Department receives its authority to enforce the traffic and parking regulations from the California Penal Code, the California Vehicle Code and the Municipal Court. Ignoring a citation will result in immediate legal action in the form of additional penalties and a hold being placed on your vehicle registration with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Citations will be issued for violation of provisions of the California Vehicle Code as well as the following special college regulations under Section 21113 C.V.C. Special Parking Areas Visitors – Each campus has designated visitor lots which allow you to park for 30 minutes without penalty. Thirty-minute or temporary parking areas are designated with green or yellow painted curbs and/or posted signage in the absence of painted curbs. If any visitor is going to be in a space for longer than the designated time limit, he/she should purchase a temporary parking permit from the permit vending machines which requires $2.00 (subject to change) for an all day parking permit good in any student lot. Permit vending machines accept cash, credit, or debit card.
Handicapped - Several areas on campus are designated for handicapped parking. Vehicles parked in these blue-lined parking stalls are required to properly display a California Handicapped placard or a current Special Handicapped Permit and possess a valid college parking permit.
Staff Lots - Staff members must possess a valid Staff Parking Permit.
Motorcycles, Mopeds, Bicycles No permit is required if parked in designated area. Use of vehicular stall requires a permit.
How to Contest A Citation
Any person who feels a citation was issued in error may contest the citation within 21 days of issuance or 14 days from the delinquent notice. You may contest online at:
https://rsccd.citationportal.com/. According to California law, non-payment of citations will result in a registration hold at DMV, and renewal of vehicle registration is contingent upon compliance. All vehicles parking on campus must display a current permit available online through WebAdvisor. Students driving vehicles without a permit should purchase a day parking pass at the dispensing machine located in the parking lots.
