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.

Single Day Permits

If you are only visiting Coastline for the day, you may 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

Permit Reimbursement

Coastline is providing a 50% ($15) refund to students who purchased a spring semester parking permit if they submit a request before June 30, 2020.
