Parking & Vehicle Registration
Student parking fees are included with tuition. Each student is issued a parking decal upon paying fees. If you pay your tuition online, by mail or by phone, you must obtain your parking decal in Business Services.
Vehicle Parking Registration (print & submit w/payment) requires a complete description including license plate number & make/model. You must register all vehicles driven on campus.
STRICT ENFORCEMENT: Students may park in the designated student parking areas. Vehicles parked incorrectly will be ticketed. Students are not allowed to park in employee places even if they have permission from the parking place holder.
JSCC PARKING REGULATION
