Student Parking Regulations

Parking permits are required for all Long Beach City College lots; that is, a current semester student parking permit or a daily permit (available only at PCC). Student permits and daily permits do not authorize parking in staff or other reserved areas except where posted otherwise. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Having a permit does not guarantee that a student will find a parking space near his or her class. On the LAC campus, there is additional parking in the Veteran's Stadium Parking Lot. Parking permits are purchased each semester during registration at the time the College Services Card is purchased, or may be obtained later at the Associated Student Body Bank.

Parking and Traffic Regulations

These rules are enforced to ensure the rights of permit holders, as well as to provide for the safety of people and property:

  1. Parking permits are required at all times in LAC and PCC parking lots.  Parking permits are purchased each semester during registration. After registration, permits may be purchased from the Cashier's Office at either campus.  For students who do not wish to purchase a semester parking permit, one-day parking permits are available at both campuses.  Parking permit machines at LAC are located on the west side of parking lot ‘J', on Lew Davis, and lot 'E'. The PCC Machine is located on the south side of parking lot 3. Meter Parking is available in Lot F, G, H, and on Lew Davis at LAC. Meters are available Lot 2 at PCC. There are also 30 minute visitor parking zones along the north curb of Carson Street for LAC.

  2. Semester parking permits must be attached to the rear view mirror so that it is visible from the front of the vehicle. One-day parking permits must be placed in plain view on the vehicle dashboard with the permit facing upward. Students who are having difficulty displaying a permit should go to the College Police Trailer for assistance. Students driving a convertible-type vehicle can obtain a special convertible permit from the LAC College Police trailer, in lot ‘C.' This special convertible permit can only be obtained after the purchase of a semester parking permit.

  3. Student permits and daily permits do not authorize parking in staff or other reserved parking spaces except where posted otherwise.

  4. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

  5. All vehicles must be parked between the lines of a designated parking space only. Backing into parking stalls is not permitted.
