Disabled parking spaces are located on each campus for use by persons with disabilities who display an authorized disability license plate or hangtag.

You must apply through the Motor Vehicle Administration (PDF, ) to obtain an authorized disability parking permit, whether it be for a temporary or permanent accommodation. The MVA is the only authorized issuing agency for disabled plates and placards. College Parking or Public Safety cannot grant disabled parking privileges on campus.

A properly displayed MC parking permit is also required. Security reserves the right to check the state identification card issued along with the permit. The person who is issued the plate or hangtag must be the driver or an occupant in the vehicle when it is parked to legally use a handicapped parking space.

Students with disabilities having a problem finding parking in an ADA space should contact a parking attendant, call security at the numbers below, or use an emergency phone in the parking lot to contact security to get assistance finding a parking space. Security will assist students by directing the student to an available accessible parking space or by allowing the student to park in an otherwise reserved area.
