Parking Permits

Parking permits are required for all Board approved faculty/staff and adjunct faculty (this DOES NOT include temporary and student workers), who wish to park in the designated “STAFF” parking stalls. Cars parked in these stalls must display proper permits or they will be cited. The permit issued by Scottsdale Community College is valid at any Maricopa Community College. There is no fee for the parking permit. Download and complete the Parking Permit form, and bring it along with your vehicle registration to the College Police office.

An out-of-state/out-of-county student or employee who operates or parks a motor vehicle on college property must sign an affidavit that the vehicle complies with Arizona Revised Statute 49-542 relating to vehicle emission testing and compliance. Vehicles which do not comply will not be issued a parking permit.

On autos or trucks, parking permits should be placed or affixed on the inside of the lower front windshield (driver’s side) so that they may be viewed from the outside. On motorized cycles, the permit shall be placed or affixed where it can be seen without difficulty on the front fender or fork.
