There may not always be sufficient parking adjacent to the residence hall in which a student resides. With a parking permit, obtained at no cost from Campus Safety, students may park in ANY student or general parking space on campus. Students living on campus should not attempt to drive to class. Students commuting to the campus should allow plenty of time to find an appropriate parking space prior to the start of their class. A valid Occidental parking permit must be displayed when parking on campus.
Temporary permits are available for short-term use.
Departments, groups, or individuals sponsoring activities during the regular work week which involve off-campus guests must make advance arrangements for parking and temporary permits with Campus Safety. Everyone operating a vehicle on campus is required to comply with the Occidental College Parking and Traffic Regulations and the California Vehicle Code. A copy of the Parking and Traffic Regulations is given to every person obtaining a parking permit. Additional copies are available in the Campus Safety Office. All vehicles parked on the campus must properly display an Occidental College parking permit.
