How to Purchase Parking Permits

Student parking permits cost $40 per semester and $20 for the summer session. A current Coastline College Parking Permit is required to park a vehicle on campus parking lots. 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.

Daily parking permits cost $5 per day.

Daily parking permits can be obtained from the permit dispensers located near the campus entrance or from your cell phone utilizing the Passport Mobile App. The permit is registered to the license plate number provided by the purchaser of the permit. No paper or sticker will be provided for display.

Pay your citation

Parking citations are issued in cooperation with the West Orange County Municipal Court. Failure to pay parking fines may impact future vehicle registration privileges with the California DMV. An academic hold will also be placed on the student's CCCD account until the citation has been paid. Payments can be made at Coastline Parking Portal.

Payment of fine must be made within 21 days from issue date or 14 days from the Notice of Delinquent.
