The College provides parking spaces for students in the east and west designated parking lots. Students who park on campus must obtain a vehicle registration decal from Owen Hall for each vehicle he/she will park on campus. There is no charge for the parking decal.
A student seeking a parking decal must present a valid driver’s license and the make, model, and license plate number of the vehicle being registered. Parking decals are not transferable from one vehicle to another or from one student to another
The parking decal must be affixed to vehicles in the place and manner designated at the time the decal is issued. Each permit expires when the respective student is no longer registered at the College.
Any change in ownership of a registered vehicle must be reported immediately to Owen Hall. On-campus parking space is limited; therefore, a decal is not a guarantee of an available parking space. CVCC reserves parking spaces for visitors in designated areas. Visitors are not required to register with the Security Office. CVCC students are not permitted to use visitor parking spaces.
Parking for Students with Disabilities
A student who needs special parking accommodations due to a disability must present appropriate documentation from a medical doctor stating the nature, extent, and expected duration of the disability. Parking accommodations for students with disabilities are handled through the College ADA Coordinator. The LRC staff, located in Owen Hall, will issue the parking permit to the student at the direction of the ADA Coordinator.
