Parking Lots
Parking is only allowed in designated parking lots. Parking on grass anywhere or blocking traffic flow on campus is not allowed.
All parking lots on campus are open to students, visitors, and employees. Please note some spaces are reserved for those with a special permit or purpose.
Parking Fees
All students, faculty, staff, and lessees pay a parking/access/security fee. The President of RCTC approves the fee after consultation with students and staff. For students, the fee is $4.75 per credit.
Faculty and staff pay a parking fee based on their status as employees. Students pay a parking fee based on the number of credits. (A faculty teaching 15 credits would pay $71.25 for parking. Since 15 credits is full-time, a staff person working full time would pay the same.) Employees who are also students at one of the partner institutions will combine their employee and student rates, but at no time pay more than the full-time parking fee.
Parking Enforcement
- Handicapped spots, the fire lane, special permit spots, and other signed no-parking is enforced continuously
- Special permit parking is designated for students or employees needing more convenient parking for health or other reasons. Please see the school nurse for authorization for a special permit.
