Visitors
The college welcomes all visitors and prospective students. Visitor parking is available at all college campuses and a parking permit is not required.
Visitors may request a temporary parking permit if they visit the campus regularly, to allow them to park in any general parking area (student parking).
Guests of the College
Faculty, staff, students, college departments, or organizations who plan to invite a guest (or guests) may request a complimentary parking permit (or permits) for their guest (s). Permits should be requested with 48 hours’ notice prior to the date of the visit, activity, or function.
College vendors/contractors who are not working on campus and only come occasionally to EPCC, volunteers who are not classified as EPCC employees, and representatives of other colleges or universities may request a complimentary parking permit.
For special events of more than 20 guests, arrangements may be made by the host through Vehicle Registration.
Parking Decals
The parking decal must be permanently affixed on the inside of the windshield, six inches above the dashboard on the passenger side. Motorcycles will be issued bumper-type parking decals and must be affixed to the rear of the vehicle, close to the license plate, where the decal can be easily visible.
The parking decal holder is responsible for any citations issued to the vehicle in which the parking decal is displayed.
It is the responsibility of each individual to update any change to their vehicle’s information at the Vehicle Registration Office.
The parking decal is not transferable.
