2. St. Nicholas Terrace parking permits are free to all faculty and staff.

Please note that there will be no restrictions on the number of General or St. Nicholas Terrace parking permits distributed.  Faculty and staff may obtain both General and St. Nicholas Terrace parking permits and will have the option of parking in St. Nicholas Terrace, South Campus or the 145th Street garage on any given work day.

3. Reserved Parking spaces are limited and will be available at a cost of $400.00 per year.  They will be available for either the South Campus lot or the 145th Street garage.  If reserved parking spaces are not utilized by 10 am by the permit holder they will be made available to General Parking permit holders on a first come first served basis.  Due to limited space, reserved parking permits will be limited to Officers and Deans of the College and to specific faculty and staff whose daily responsibilities justify the assurance of a space.  Reserved spaces will also be made available to faculty and staff with federal or state issued handicapped parking per mits and/or license plates.

4. Student Parking permits are available for evenings [3PM – 11PM] Monday through Friday and all day on Saturday and Sunday on the South Campus lot at a cost of $135.00 per year.

PARKING PERMITS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE, THEY ARE FOR THE DRIVER AND VEHICLE LISTED ON THE PERMIT APPLICATION.  NO EXCEPTIONS.

RULES AND REGULATIONS
Parking permits are not transferable. The permit is valid for the permit holder and his/her vehicle which is registered with the Public Safety office. All permits must be visibly displayed affixed to the vehicle's windshield at all times while it is parked on campus.
Because of a shortage of parking spaces, any person whose reserved space is empty after 10 am relinquishes that space for the remainder of the day unless he/she notifies the parking division by calling ext. 7183 or faxing us at ext. 7991.  Overnight parking on campus is prohibited unless approved by Public Safety.

The speed limit on College property including South Campus and the NAC lot is 5 MPH.

Do not block fire hydrants or park in bus stops or loading zones (indicated by tiger stripes painted on the roadway). The NYC Police or Department of Traffic control will issue you a summons!

Unauthorized parking and/or failure to display a permit in a campus parking space can result in the vehicle being immobilized with a wheel lug. A fine of $25 is imposed for lug removal. Violators may be subject to revocation of their on campus parking privileges.

You risk getting a city issued summons if you park on Convent Avenue, or if you park on St. Nicholas Terrace without a permit. Your car may also be towed away by the Department of Traffic due to emergencies (snow removal, etc.).
The fee for replacing lost or destroyed parking permits is $5.

The City College of New York, The City University of New York, the city of New York and the state of New York are not responsible for personal property left in a vehicle of for damage sustained to a vehicle while parked on campus.
