Purchase Parking Permit

Parking Permits and Fees

Parking at the main RHC campus requires a parking permit. Other educational centers off the main campus do not need a parking permit.

Students can purchase parking permits online. These permits are tied to your vehicle’s license plate number and do not require a physical sticker.

Semester Parking Permit Fees

Parking Permit Grace Period

Students have two weeks from the first day of classes to obtain their parking permit during Fall and Spring semesters, one week during Summer semester.  During the first two weeks of the Fall and Spring semesters and one week during Summer semester, students may park only in student lots without a permit and will not be cited. After the grace period has expired, all students are expected to have their permits; any vehicles not registered with a valid semester permit may be cited. 

Day Permit & Visitor Parking

Daily parking permits for visitors are available at the Parking Information Booth located off College Drive, to the left at Parking Lot 2 of the lower level parking stalls.

Day parking permit dispensers are available in the following locations:

• Parking Lot A, near the bridge

One (1) day parking permit fee is $3.00. The dispenser accepts one-dollar bills, credit cards, and coins (including dollar coins). The dispenser does not give change for bills or coins. A five-minute parking stall is located alongside the dispenser for temporary parking while you purchase your permit.

Parking Rules & Responsibilities

Persons operating vehicles on campus are expected to abide by all California vehicle codes as well as posted regulations. Citations will be issued by campus security officers for violations of such codes or failure to abide by college parking or vehicle regulations. Everyone is required to pay all fines in connection with such violations. Unpaid fines will be referred to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and a hold will be placed on your vehicle registration.

Persons using the parking facilities at the college do so at their own risk. The college assumes no liability for the use of parking facilities.
