How to Purchase Parking Permits

Student parking permit costs $30 per semester and $15 for the summer session. A current Coastline College Parking Permit is required to park a vehicle on campus parking lots. Permits may be purchased on-line by logging into the student portal (MyCoastPortal) or via the college's website. When purchasing a Student Semester Parking Permit or using the daily permit dispensers the buyer will be required to enter their vehicle's license plate number when prompted. The permit is registered to that vehicle and there is no paper or sticker to display on the vehicle.

Coastline College Regulations

Vehicles without a valid parking permit will be cited.

The purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space on campus. General public and community members may also purchase semester permits online.

Designated parking areas are color coded: Vehicles authorized to park on the Coastline College property shall park only in areas that have been painted with stripes indicating parking stalls. Parking in any other area is not permitted, including cross hatch, red zones, or curbs, and will result in the vehicle being cited. Designated parking areas are color coded:

Color	Available For
White Stall	Open for valid student permit parking and daily parking permit
Yellow	Faculty and Staff permit required
Blue	Disabled zones
White Grid	Motorcycle/mopeds only Semester, staff, or daily permit required

Disabled Parking

Designated stalls for disabled persons are available only to those properly displaying a disabled placard or license plate issued through DMV. No permit or fee is required for parking when a valid placard/plate is displayed. Failure to display a valid placard in a designated disabled space will result in a citation ($250.00). Placard holders are required to carry DMV issued paperwork. Unauthorized use of a handicap placard is a violation of the California Vehicle Code and violators are subject to a $250.00 fine

Liability

The Coast Community College District assumes no liability for damage to or theft of any vehicle, bicycle, or articles of personal property while on campus. Users of campus parking lots do so at their own risk.
