DISPLAY OF A PARKING PERMIT DOES NOT GUARANTEE A
PARKING SPACE ON THE SITE.
Section 102 All parking permits are issued under direction of the Director of
Maintenance & Operations. They are issued in person or by mail from the
Office of Student Services, Coastline Community College Center, 11460
Warner Avenue, Fountain Valley, CA 92708. Office hours are 8 a.m. to 5

District, Orange Coast College, or Golden West College. It must be within

in Section 101. It must not be altered in any way, and all portions must be
completely legible. All of the above listed conditions must be met for a
permit to be valid.

park a vehicle in appropriate marked stalls. Coastline College sites
requiring parking permits are clearly identified with signage at the entrance
and various appropriate locations of the facility. Fees for the student
permit at CCC are by semester, and are five dollars ($5.00) per regular
semester and three dollars ($3.00) for the summer session.
Section 106 Staff permits are issued at no charge to regular certificated staff, adjunct
faculty, and regular classified staff of the college. Display of the staff
permit will permit parking in "staff parking" areas at designated sites. The
permit allows parking at designated Coastline sites as well as Orange
Coast College, Golden West College, or the Coast Community College
District facilities.
