General Requirements

Colby Community College (CCC) students, staff, and faculty are required to:

• Register their vehicles in order to use on-campus parking,
• Display a current CCC parking decal on their vehicle while parked on campus, and
• Park only in the parking lots authorized by their parking decal.

Student parking decals are non-transferable.

Loss or destruction of a parking decal should be reported to Campus Security as soon as possible.

Student Parking Registration

Parking permits for students can be obtained from the Director of Campus Security. Students living in the residence halls are not charged for a parking permit.

Parking permits for students living off campus are purchased in the Student Accounts Office for a fee of $25.00.

If a student moves from campus housing or to campus housing during the academic year, they are required to simultaneously change their vehicle’s parking registration.

Staff and Faculty Parking Registration

Parking permits for staff and faculty are available from the Director of Campus Security. Staff and faculty are not charged a fee for a parking permit.

Where to Park

Parking lots are designated by a letter code that corresponds to a permit sticker color. Vehicles must be parked in the lot for which they are registered. (See campus map)

Permit parking for lots A and B is enforced at all times during fall and winter semesters. Permit parking in lots C through G is enforced Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Display of Parking Permit

Parking decals are to be displayed in a lower corner of the rear window. Decals for convertibles, vehicles with lowered rear windows, or trucks with campers should be displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the windshield.

Visitor Parking

Visitor parking is reserved for persons who are not CCC faculty, staff, or students.

Where Not to Park

Areas where students, staff, and faculty are never permitted to park include:

• Areas marked with a yellow curb
• Emergency access areas in front of each residence hall
• Driveways and access lanes
• Trash pick-up areas
• Crosswalks
• Fire zones
• Parking areas reserved for campus visitors (e.g., the circle drive) or specific faculty and staff
• Areas designated for service/delivery
• Accessible parking — without a visible permit
  
  

Accessible Parking

Accessible parking spaces are for those with state-issued parking permits. Vehicles not displaying an accessible permit and parked in an accessible parking space will be ticketed and/or towed as per CCC policy.

Persons with disability placards are required to carry their identification card, issued with their placard or plate, at all times when the vehicle is being used by, or for, the transportation of the person with the disability.

Citations, Paying Fines, and Appeals

Citations issued to a vehicle are the responsibility of the individual who registered the vehicle with CCC. If the vehicle is not registered with CCC, then the registered owner of the vehicle is responsible for parking citations issued for the vehicle.

Fines must be paid by the end of the semester in which they are issued. Fines are to be paid at the Student Accounts Office, located in the Student Union.

Anyone who receives a parking citation has five (5) days to dispute the citation with the Director of Campus Security. Appeals must be submitted to security@colbycc.edu.

If you wish to appeal the citation further, you may do so by emailing the Executive Vice President, Nikol Nolan, at nikol.nolan@colbycc.edu. Appeals must be made within 14 calendar days of the citation date. The decision of the Executive Vice President is final.

Other College Traffic and Parking Regulations

• Vehicles parked on campus or at the college farm must display current license plates or a current temporary registration certificate for that vehicle.
• CCC reserves the right to restrict parking without prior notice due to special events or construction. It is against regulations to move a barricade or orange cone to occupy a parking stall.
• Repair work on vehicles involving the removal of major parts from the vehicles is prohibited.

Questions pertaining to traffic and parking on the CCC campus should be directed to Campus Security:  security@colbycc.edu.

Policy Violations and Fines

* Each additional citation will double from the previous citation amount, or the vehicle may be towed at the owner’s expense.
