Campus Parking
SCC’s parking permit system is virtual, your license plate is your permit! All staff, students, and visitors are required to purchase a permit to park on campus. Staff and students can buy their permit online via Self-Service or by selecting the link Purchase Parking Permit . Permit requirements include vehicles parking in a disabled stall.
Student permits only allow one active vehicle per permit.
Purchase Instructions for Students and Staff: Making your purchase is simple and convenient. Be prepared with your vehicle’s make, model, year, color, and license plate number.
- Go to the Permit Portal which will take you to a notification page. Please read instructions on the homepage for tips on completing the process.
- Click “Login” at the top of the page and you will be taken to your RSCCD single sign on (SSO) page.
- After signing in, click “Buy Permit.”
- Submit your vehicle’s information. Your license plate will be saved in the system and serve as your permit.
- Faculty/Staff have the option of entering multiple vehicles but please make sure you place a check mark next to all vehicles you want active on the permit. Do NOT use your VIN number, only your license plate number.
- After you have entered your vehicle(s), select “Save” and it will route you to a payment screen. If you don’t get routed, go under the “my permits” button and enter your payment information to complete your transaction.
You will receive two emails during this transaction. One that says “Approved” and the second that says “paid”. Your permit is not valid until you receive the paid email.
Guest Permits: In addition to purchasing at the pay stations, guest permits are available for purchase online at https://rsccd.thepermitportal.com/. Permits offered are:
- Daily - $2
- Week - $10
- Term (16 weeks from date of purchase) - $30
Persons that have paid the appropriate fee shall be permitted to use the Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) parking facilities at all of its locations including Santa Ana College and Santiago Canyon College.
Motorcycles, Mopeds, Bicycles
No permit is required for motorcycles, mopeds, or bicycles if parked in designated motorcycle parking or bicycle racks. Use of a vehicle stall requires a permit.
Parking Lot Security
The college provides personnel to patrol the parking lots. However, persons parking on district property do so at their own risk. RSCCD does not assume any responsibility for loss or damage to vehicles or their contents while parked anywhere on district property.
Although our campus is relatively crime free, one type of problem is motor vehicle related theft. Please read our advisory carefully.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your local campus
safety office at (714) 628-4730.
Authorization is granted to SCC Safety by the Governing Board to issue traffic and parking citations on college premises. Citations may be issued for violations of:
- RSCCD Parking Regulations
- California Vehicle Code (section 21113A).
Safety Officers are instructed to issue citations based upon the regulations, copies
of which are available at the District Safety Offices. They are not authorized to
grant any privileges deviating from the regulations.
Vehicles may be issued citations for illegal parking, failure to display a current
permit, or any other violation of parking and traffic regulations.
Contesting a Citation
registration hold at DMV, and renewal of vehicle registration is contingent upon compliance. The following listed does not constitute good cause to void or dismiss citations. Appeals based solely on these reasons will not be considered:
- Lack of knowledge of the regulation
- Other vehicles parked improperly
- Late to class or appointment
- Disagreement with, or inability to pay the parking penalty
