Parking Fees & Information

Parking Permits

Parking Permits are $30 per Fall and Spring Semester, $15 for Summer Session, and required at the following locations:

• Garden Grove Campus
• Newport Beach Campus
• Westminster - Le-Jao Campus

Purchasing Parking Permits 

Now, parking permits may be purchased online. All purchases are done online via a credit card. Coastline parking permits are also valid at Golden West and Orange Coast College.

If you purchase a parking decal, make sure you have it displayed on your vehicle by the end of the second week of the semester. Campus Safety starts ticketing the Monday of the 3rd week (2nd week for the summer term)! All persons using these lots at any time are required to purchase and display a parking permit. Although the sticker will not guarantee a parking space, it will avoid the possibility of receiving a parking citation.

Parking Permit Refund 

If you are in need of refund, please contact the College you have purchased it from.

Single Day Permits

If you are only visiting Coastline for the day, you may also purchase a day ($2) permit.

$2 day permits can be purchased:

• at the learning center locations
• at the machine located in the center of each parking lot

Parking Citations

Vehicles receiving Coastline citations have the same legal status as parking citations issued by a law enforcement agency in California. For further information regarding these regulations see Parking Regulations, located under "Policies", or contact the Public Safety office at (714) 546-7600, ext. 16120. 

Any checks returned unpaid (stop payment or insufficient funds) do not constitute automatic withdrawal from a class. A check returned from the bank for any reason is subject to a $25 service charge and a hold will be placed on student records for any financial obligation, until the obligation is cleared.
