Parking and Parking Permits

 

New Parking Regulations

Authority

Pursuant to the authority granted by RCW 28B.50.140(10), the board of trustees of Shoreline Community College is granted authority to establish rules and regulations for pedestrians, vehicular, and non-vehicular traffic on property owned, operated and/or maintained by the college.

General Instructions

Parking permits must be displayed at all times.  Your student parking permit allows you to park in student parking lots on property leased, owned or managed by the college.

 

Students are asked to respect the surrounding neighborhoods by parking only in designated parking areas.  You can obtain a daytime permit at the Cashier's Office of FOSS for $15 per quarter.  Students can park in staff lots after 4pm with a valid student permit.

 

Student may also park for $1 per day by stopping at the entrances of the College to obtain a day pass.

 

Permits are not required for parking at the Lake Forest Park campus.

 

Location of the permit:

The permits are now hanging permits. They must hang from the rearview mirror FACE OUT with the number clearly showing. If someone does not have a rearview mirror, they can either tape the permit to the window or place it on the dashboard.

Registered students and employees are not allowed to park in the visitor lot at any time.  This includes evening students, on-line students, and those attending Lake Forest Park or other satellite campuses.

 

If your parking permit is stolen, please notify the Safety & Security Office in Room 5102 as soon as possible: (206) 546-4633

 

Appeals of Citations

 

Per Washington Administrative code 132G-116, all petitions of appeal must be submitted in writing, on the appropriate form, within five (5) working days of date of citations. (Appeal forms are in the Safety/Security office in the 5000 Bldg., Room 5102 - Also in the Student Lounge for "after hours" - room 5100)

 

Limits to Liability

The parking permit licenses the holder (licensee) to park one automobile in a student parking lot. The college hereby declares itself not responsible for fire, theft, damage or loss of vehicle or any article left in it. All such risks are being assumed by the licensee. Only a license to park is granted hereby and no bailment is created.

 

If you lose your permit, you may purchase a replacement at a charge equal to the original cost. If you find the original permit within the same quarter, the Cashier's Office will gladly give you a refund equal to the cost of the second permit. If the missing permit is found on another vehicle on college property, the owner of the vehicle may receive a citation and/or the vehicle may be impounded.

 

Where to park?

Refer to the map in the Quarterly Class Schedule for parking areas marked student parking. Additional shuttle parking is available behind Sears Marketing Center on N. 160th St. Monday through Friday - 8:00am to 5:30pm.

 

Impounding vehicles:

The college has the authority to impound or wheel-lock vehicles that violate parking regulations. (WAC 132G-116).

 

Permit Transferability

Parking permits are transferable. If you have to drive another car, remove the permit and reattach it to the rearview mirror of the new vehicle. 

 

Signs to look for

The campus parking lots are divided into two key areas, Employee parking, and Student parking. Within these two sections, the college also has designated parking areas, such as Disabled parking, Visitor parking, Day Care (20min), Motor Pool and Dental Hygiene parking. It is important for both staff and students to pay close attention to these areas; they are strictly enforced.

Below are just a few examples of signs you will see on our campus. Please pay close attention to regulatory signs and directions.

 

Signs

 

Parking Procedures

Regulatory signs and directions:

drivers of vehicle shall obey regulatory signs and signs/traffic control devices at all times and shall comply with directions given by safety/security officers in the control and regulation of traffic and parking.

 

Speed:

No vehicle shall be operated on the campus at a speed in excess of 15 miles per hour or such lower speed as is reasonable and prudent in the circumstances. No stopping, parking or passing is allowed in the perimeter road at any time.

 

Traffic accidents:

Persons involved in traffic accidents on college property are encouraged to report the accident to the college safety/security department. An officer may be dispatched to file a report on the accident.

Traffic offenses: College safety/security officers may issue citations for any traffic offenses which are codified by the traffic laws of the state of Washington, traffic code of King County or the policy of the college. Due to the severe risk to public safety, traffic offenses do not require previous warning prior to the issuance of a citation.

 

Designated and assigned parking:

Vehicles shall be parked on college property only in those areas set aside and designated as parking areas. In any area requiring a special parking permit, i.e. dental hygiene or cosmetology, no vehicle shall park without said permit. Parking is allowed in marked spaces only. Parking triangles, along roadways, or along parking lot curbing is prohibited.

 

Illegal parking:

No person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle at any place where official signs, curb, or pavement markings prohibit parking, nor within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant or ten feet of any building, nor at any place for which the vehicle does not have a valid parking permit. Any vehicle not parked in a marked/designated parking stall shall be considered illegally parked.

 

Visitors Lot:

Short-term (two hour parking), intended for visitors to the campus, is available in the visitor parking lot south of the 1000 building. Students cannot park in the visitor lot during any quarter for which they are registered. All designated parking areas are strictly enforced. Exceptions: Student vehicles displaying a valid disabled placard/plate and a valid S.C.C. permit can park in disabled spaces in the visitor lot.

 

Allocation of parking spaces:

The parking spaces available on college properties shall be assigned by the college safety/security department in such a manner as will best meet the objectives of these regulations. The safety/security department is authorized to mark various parking areas on college property with numbers or titles or by posting of signs, curb, pavement markings, or traffic control devices.

Daily permits: Single day permits, valid the date of issuance, are available for $1.00 from the dispensers at all three entrances to Shoreline CC. These permits are valid for student parking lots only.

 

Parking permits:

All vehicles must have a valid college parking permit, properly displayed, while parked on the campus. Student permits are not valid in the Visitors Lot. Vehicles parked in disabled person spaces must display a state-issued disabled placard or license plate and a Shoreline CC parking permit at all times.

 

Student parking spaces require a valid student quarter permit or a single day permit, Monday through Friday from 6:00am to 10:00pm (the college campus is closed from 10:00 pm to 6:00am). Student quarterly permits are available at the Cashiers Office in the 5000 building next to the registration area. Quarterly permits are $15.00 and are valid 6:00am to 10:00pm.

 

Purchase of a parking permit does NOT guarantee a parking space. The responsibility for finding a legal parking space rests with the operator of the vehicle. Lack of space is not an excuse for illegal parking.
