Parking Permits

RSCCD’s parking permit system is virtual, your license plate is your permit! All staff, students, and visitors are required to purchase a permit to park on campus. Staff and students can buy their permit online via Self-Service or by selecting the link Purchase Parking Permit. Permit requirements include vehicles parking in a disabled stall.

Student permits only allow one active vehicle per permit.

Parking Lot Security

The college provides personnel to patrol the parking lots. However, persons parking on district property do so at their own risk. RSCCD does not assume any responsibility for loss or damage to vehicles or their contents while parked anywhere on district property.

Although our campus is relatively crime-free, one type of problem is motor vehicle-related theft. Please read our advisory carefully.

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

 

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 District Safety office at (714) 564-6330.
