Detailed Parking Information
Daily Parking Permits

 

Daily Parking Permit

Daily parking permits are $2. Daily parking permits can be obtained from the grey Parkeon permit dispensers located in most parking lots except in the Locke-2, Budd-3, Cunn-3, and Cunn-4 lots. The grey Parkeon permit dispenser accepts credit/debit cards and $1 bills.

Each permit is valid on the day it is purchased and must be displayed, face up on the dashboard. This permit only entitles you to park in designated parking spaces. You may not park in restricted spaces, disabled parking spaces (without a placard), or anywhere else that may cause a safety hazard. There are no refunds on permits, however, if you place the proper amount in a "Parkeon" permit dispenser and do not get a permit, contact the District Police Dept.

In the event a permit dispenser fails, you must contact the District Police and advise them of the failure. In addition, you must go to another machine to obtain a permit.

 

Semester Parking Permits

Student Semester Parking Permits are highly recommended and will save you the hassle of feeding the daily parking permit dispensers, especially during cold, windy, or inclement weather conditions. If you are on campus for a minimum of 15 days, the semester permit pays for itself.

Semester permits will be available for purchase ONLY online.

Each permit is valid for the entire semester. This permit only entitles you to park in designated parking spaces. You may not park in restricted spaces, disabled parking spaces (without a placard), yellow zones, red zones, or anywhere else that may cause a safety hazard.

Citation Information

Citations will be issued to any vehicle parked on campus not displaying a valid parking permit. Citations will be written by Police Department officers who are also on patrol campus-wide for your safety and assistance. We remind you to lock your vehicle, as San Joaquin Delta College is not responsible for the theft of your parking permit.

All citation payments and appeals will be done online. To pay for your parking citation or appeal the citation, please use the following link:

Appeal or Pay Parking Citation

Citation Issuance

The policy regarding the dismissal of parking citations issued by Law Enforcement personnel of San Joaquin Delta College Police Department is predicated upon a legal foundation. This legal foundation is set forth in section 40101 of the California Vehicle Code. Section 40202 expressly prevents a Peace Officer, or agency for which he/she works, from arbitrarily voiding a parking citation. To do so is a violation of California law and punishable as such. If the violator believes the citation was issued in error, the issuing agency, Delta College Police Department must perform an Administrative Review of the citation if the review is requested by the violator within 21 days of issuance of the notice of delinquent parking violation.

Failure to respond to a parking citation, may result in the Department of Motor Vehicles placing a hold on your registration. Failure to respond to 5 or more citations may result in towing, impoundment or immobilization of the vehicle or any other vehicles owned by the person cited.

Displaying a DMV Issued Disabled Placard

Employees, students and visitors may park in a 30 minute,1 hour zones, or disabled parking stall with a valid DMV issued disabled parking placard. A valid daily permit or semester permit is NOT required while parked in a designated disabled parking stall or 30 minute parking stall.

While parked in a disabled stall, you may be asked by an officer to provide your California Driver's License and proof of DMV disabled placard ownership.

Parking in restricted spaces, red zones and yellow loading zones is not permitted.

30 Minute / 1 Hour Parking Zones

For short-term visitors, Delta College has several parking lots with 30 Minute or 1 Hour Parking Zones. A permit is not required to park in the 30 Minute or 1 Hour zones. Additionally, parking permits do not entitle you to park over the 30 minute or 1 Hour time limit.

If you display a valid DMV disabled placard while parked in a 30 Minute or 1 Hour zone, you are allowed to park for an unlimited amount of time. While parked in a 30 Minute or 1 Hour stall with your placard displayed, you may be asked by an officer to provide your California Driver's License and proof of DMV disabled placard ownership.

Two-wheeled Motor Vehicle Parking Zones

Motorcycles and other two-wheeled motor vehicles must park in areas specially designated for parking of such vehicles.

 

Lost and/or Stolen Parking Permits

If a parking permit is lost or stolen, please report it to the San Joaquin Delta Community College District Police Department. We will immediately cancel the permit number to prevent its use. Lost or stolen parking permits will be replaced with a $5.00 service charge. Any additional replacements must be purchased at the standard rate ($30.00).

If a canceled or invalid parking permit is displayed on a non-permitted vehicle, a parking citation WILL be issued, and corrective action WILL be taken.

Damaged Parking Permits

If your parking permit is damaged, you must bring in the old permit (the permit number must be legible) to get a new one. There is a $5.00 replacement fee, and any additional replacements must be purchased at the standard rate ($30.00)

If You Sell Your Vehicle

Disclaimer

The issuance of a parking permit does not guarantee parking availability. The responsibility of finding legal parking spaces rests with the motor vehicle operator. Lack of parking spaces is not a valid reason for violating district parking regulations or California Vehicle Code provisions. Be advised that it is the motorist's responsibility to read the posted signs and park accordingly.
