Campus Parking
If you’re going to park on campus, a Parking ePermit will be required 12 days after the start of classes. You can easily order your parking permits online using the Parking Permit Portal. The annual parking permits are valid for the academic year from September 1 to August 31. These permits are available for ACC employees, registered students, and non-ACC employees working at an ACC-owned facility.
To complete your online order, you will need:
- ACCeID for login
- License plate number
- Vehicle year, make & model
Parking permits are digital and linked to your license plate number. A digital permit or e-Permit, simplifies parking authorization and eliminates the requirement for physical permits or stickers on vehicles. Instead, your car’s license plate acts as your valid parking permit. This type of permit is more convenient because you don’t have to worry about losing it or forgetting it. Plus, you don’t need a physical permit if you switch to driving a different vehicle.
