Information about your new parking permit

Rancho Santiago Community College District Safety & Security has launched a new parking management system at the District, Santa Ana College and Santiago Canyon College that has included the implementation of Virtual Permitting to replace physical permits. This system will improve and streamline the parking permitting process. There is no physical permit to be displayed.  You would only need to register the vehicle(s​) that you typically drive to campus, then your vehicle license plate will be counted using license plate recognition (LPR) as your parking permit.​

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local campus safety office at (714) 564-6330.
