Parking
Tacoma campus
Please park in designated spots. Students may not park in a “STAFF” or “VISITOR” parking stall. Employees may not park in “VISITOR” parking stalls. A disabled placard, plate, or tab and a valid TCC parking permit must both be properly displayed when parking in a disabled stall.
Parking permits must be properly placed inside, on the lower left corner of the vehicle windshield.
Vehicles must first be registered online before requesting a student or employee parking permit.
After completing the online vehicle registration form and paying, stop by the Campus Public Safety Customer Service Desk in Building 14 to pick up a permit. Most students are charged a Mandatory Safety Fee every quarter which covers the cost of one parking permit. The price for students who are not charged this fee is $15.00 per quarter. You may verify your charges by checking your ctcLink Financial Account.
Visitor parking
Visitors may park in stalls marked “VISITOR” or if full, may obtain a temporary permit from the Campus Public Safety Customer Service Desk.
