Students

Parking permits are required each semester for both the Main and Tehama Campuses. Permits can be purchased online through the Parking Portal, accessible via the Shasta Portal.

Students who wish to pay with cash may do so in person at Admissions & Records or Campus Safety Office (Building 6500).

Parking Enforcement

  • Student parking is enforced beginning seven (7) calendar days after the start of the fall and spring semesters.
  • For the summer session, enforcement begins on the first day of the term.

Permit Guidelines

Student parking permits are valid in any General parking space that is not designated for another use (e.g., Staff, Carpool, or Dormitory parking). Special permits are required for carpool or dormitory parking.

Vehicle Registration

For-Credit Students
