Only one permit per student may be purchased.

Once it is complete and the appropriate signatures are on the request, return it to the college police office at the campus of employment. You may also e-mail the completed application to PARKING@SDCCD.EDU. Generally, depending on number of requests, processing of the permit may take 5-10 working days. Once the permit application is processed the employee will be notified and they may pick the permit up at the college police office. Employees must pick up their permit in person and show identification (SDCCD ID card, Driver's license, California ID card etc ... are examples of valid forms of identification).
