Parking

As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our campus safe, accessible, and well-maintained, a Parking and Access Fee is paid annually by all employees and students. This fee helps cover the costs of maintaining our parking lots, sidewalks, and roadways—things like snow removal, lighting, and repairs that keep our campus running smoothly year-round. 

Whether it’s clearing snow after a storm or fixing potholes in the lot, this fee ensures that everyone—students, employees, and visitors—can safely and easily access campus facilities. 

To park on campus, you’ll need to register your vehicle online. Just have your vehicle details handy (make, model, color, and license plate), and once registered, you can pick up your permit at the Business Office in the 100 wing of the main building. More details are below. 

Please note that while we do our best to accommodate everyone, parking is limited and not guaranteed. All drivers are expected to follow campus parking and traffic rules to help keep things safe and orderly for everyone. 

Thanks for helping us maintain a safe and accessible campus! 

Permit Registration & Pick-Up

All motor vehicles parked on campus during the academic year must display a current permit for the designated area. Vehicles must be registered online to receive a permit for parking in designated college lots. This requirement ensures proper parking management and adherence to campus regulations. Failure to comply may result in fines or loss of parking privileges.  

The vehicle's make, model, color, and license plate number are required for registration. Student and employee permits will be issued upon completion of online registration and can be picked up at the Business Office in the 100 wing of the main campus building.

Parking and Access Fee

At Alexandria College, the Parking and Access Fee is a mandatory fee. All ATCC employees will contribute to the cost of construction, improvements and maintenance of the parking lot and access to the College’s entrances and roadways. All employees will pay the parking and access fee based on their assigned FTE (full-time equivalence). This fee supports the upkeep and improvement of campus parking lots, ensuring they remain safe and well-maintained for everyone. 

The Parking and Access Fee supports the maintenance, repair, and improvement of campus parking lots, roadways, sidewalks, and overall campus accessibility. This fee ensures that parking areas remain safe, well-maintained, and accessible year-round, covering costs like snow removal, lighting, resurfacing, and general upkeep. 

The Access Fee portion specifically supports the infrastructure and services that provide safe and convenient access to campus buildings and facilities. This includes the maintenance of walkways, accessibility ramps, campus signage. Together, these fees contribute to creating a safer, more accessible environment for students, staff, and visitors. 

For example, if a heavy snowstorm occurs, these fees help cover timely snow removal from parking lots and sidewalks to ensure you can safely park and navigate campus. They also fund repairs for potholes or cracks in parking areas and maintain adequate lighting to enhance safety during evening hours. 

Student Parking Permits

Foundation Student Housing Lot Permits

Foundation Student Housing lot permits are available only to individuals residing in student housing. These include Foundation Hall and J.A. Wedum Hall, and each Foundation Student Housing permit is color-coded based on location. Permit colors are updated annually. These permits are valid from July 1 to June 30. 

Foundation Student Housing permits are restricted to the specific parking lot for that student hall. Residents of Foundation Hall may not park in the J.A. Wedum parking lot, and vice versa. 

Foundation Student Housing permit holders are allowed to park in designated student parking lots (marked with yellow lines) on campus. Due to the limited size of campus parking lots, spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Foundation Student Housing lots are the only lots on campus that allow overnight parking. Students must have parking permits displayed in the rearview mirror and be parked in the designated parking stalls marked with blue lines. 

Employee Parking Permits

Important Note: Employee permits are issued individually and cannot be shared or assigned per household. This is a mandatory fee that applies to all employees. 

Employee permit prices are based on the individual, not the household.

Employees may also opt to pay for their parking permit in full with a one-time payment at the Business Office. Employees hired during the year are eligible for a prorated rate.
