All VSCC employees and students must display a VSCC parking decal on their vehicles. Failure to display this decal may result in a citation and a fine. Persons are expected to read and familiarize themselves with the VSCC Traffic and Parking Regulations Policy IV:30:07. Ignorance of the regulations is no defense to a violation.

Ready to Register?
Before proceeding to the Online Parking Decal Registration, please have the following information:
- Vehicle Make, Model, and Year,
- License Plate Number
- Color of the Vehicle
Decal Placement
The decal must be placed on the outside of the rear window in the bottom left corner on the driver’s side. Soft-top/convertible vehicles are the only vehicles eligible for an interior decal. Interior decals must be displayed in the lower corner of the passenger side front windshield. Interior decals will be issued solely through the Campus Police Department upon verification of the vehicle type. Proper display of a current parking decal, not simply its possession, authorizes parking.
Additional Information
- Decals must be properly displayed on your vehicle to avoid receiving a parking fine.
- Faded or damaged decals will be replaced on an as-needed basis.
- Faculty, staff, and students are not permitted to park in areas designated as VISITOR or RESERVED PARKING prior to 5 pm, no matter the duration of the time on campus.
- Notify Campus Police when leaving a vehicle on campus overnight. Any motor vehicle left unattended longer than five (5) business days without notifying the Campus Police Department will be considered abandoned.
- Lost or stolen decals must be reported immediately to Campus Police.
- A temporary parking permit must be displayed on any non-registered vehicle when parked on campus. It is the driver's responsibility to obtain a temporary permit when using an alternate vehicle without a parking decal. Employees and students may obtain a temporary permit from the Campus Police Department at each campus site.
