Parking Rules

RCCD Police and Parking Services enforces parking regulations and the California Vehicle Code 7 days a week, 24 hours a day at all college campuses, education sites, and district locations. Under AP 6750 Parking, all vehicles must display a valid District permit, a District- or College-issued temporary permit, or use metered parking any time the vehicle is parked at a college or district location.

Review All Parking Rules

The fine for illegally parking in a Disabled Zone is $340.

Disabled parking spaces are located in various lots around Norco College. You must display a current, state-issued disabled placard and a student or staff permit to park in a disabled parking space. Only the person to whom the placard or plate was issued can use it. Individuals who are caught fraudulently using a disabled placard will be fined and the placard or plate confiscated.

MYTH: Parking citations are not issued during the first two weeks of school.

TRUTH: Parking citations can be issued beginning on the first day of class,

HOWEVER...

We do not require you to have a current semester permit to park in a designated student space for the first two weeks of class during the Fall and Spring semesters or first week of the Summer session. This gives students time to obtain their permits through WebAdvisor. The same is not true for faculty or staff. To park in a staff space you must have a current or expired staff permit the 1 day of class or you will be subject to a citation.

The first two weeks of class during the Fall and Spring semesters are extremely hectic and parking will be scarce. There may be times when all lots are full. Please become familiar with all parking lot locations and plan ahead during the first three weeks of the semester.

Permits

Every vehicle that parks on Norco College must have a permit to park. Most permits are virtual and assigned to your student/employee record and license plate. Virtual permits are assigned to your license plate; semester or annual permits are not printed. Daily permits that are printed at on-campus machines should be displayed on your vehicle dashboard.

Parking Basics

Automobile Permits:

  • Fall and spring: $50
  • Summer: $25
  • Winter: No cost

Motorcycle Permits: 

  • Fall and spring: $15
  • Summer: $10
  • Winter: No cost

Employees must purchase and display an employee/staff permit, including temporary and/or part-time employees. Employees are not authorized to possess or use any other type of permit. The only exception to this are those temporary permits issued by Parking Services for those who already have a current staff permit.

Staff permits are valid in any staff and student parking space on campus. Student employees are not staff and are not eligible to purchase a staff permit.

How to Purchase Employee Parking

Each lot has a specific designation for who can or cannot park there. There are also areas (such as disabled spots, fire zones, loading areas, etc.) that are posted for the exclusive use by certain persons or vehicles. Board Policy spells out in detail such areas and restrictions.

  • White spaces: visitors and students
  • Yellow spaces: employees (must have employee permit)
  • Blue spaces: valid disabled parking only

The parking lots have parking permit dispensers located in lots A, B, C, D, and S, and the STEM Center lot. Dispenser permits are only valid for parking in white-striped student stalls.

Enforcement and Safety

Citations are assigned for parking rule and vehicle code violations. These range from failure to display or have an active permit, parking in the wrong locations, blocking access to spaces or campus locations, expired vehicle registration, and more.

If you receive a parking citation, you may appeal it. On the back of each citation is information on how to contest the citation, and details about the process are available on the RCCD Parking Services webpage.

about Citations and Appeals Fines and Fees
