Parking at IVC

Accessible parking spaces are available in each lot. A valid parking permit* is required along with a California Disabled Person Parking Placard. Those with valid parking permits* and placards can park in student, staff and disabled parking spaces.

Information on how to obtain a California Disabled Person Parking Placard, License Plate, or Temporary Disabled Person Placard can be found here.

Though this section is still in the AR’s, it is not in practice.  Students are instructed to obtain a Temporary Disabled Person Placard.  Employees already have access to staff parking.

1. Select VIEW ALL CARDS on the right hand side.
2. Then search Parking in the top left where it says "Find cards."
3. Locate the Parking card. You can click the ribbon in the top right of the card to save it to your homepage. 

Once located click "Go to Parking Web Site." You will be redirected to the parking permit portal where you can purchase a permit and update your vehicle information. Annual permits are only available during the fall semester.

Refunds

Students are eligible for a parking permit refund for two reasons:

1. Their class is canceled due to insufficient enrollment and the student is not enrolled in any other classes on campus during the semester; or
2. The student officially withdraws from all of their on-campus classes prior to the refund-eligible drop deadline.

To request a refund please visit the police dept of your assigned college, either Irvine Valley College or Saddleback College. Refund requests must be processed within the first four weeks of a regular term, or within the first two weeks of an eight-week term if the student only enrolled.

Students are instructed to obtain a Temporary Disabled Person Placard.  Employees already have access to staff parking.

Daily parking permits are $5. Dispensers are near the entrances to lots 2, 5, 8 and 10. These permits are valid only in student parking spaces at IVC. Visit the Campus Map to see where the permit dispensers are located at IVC. Daily parking permits must be displayed such that the date, time, and location of the permit purchase and expiration are clearly visible through the windshield.

If you encounter a mechanical problem with one of the dispensers, report it to Campus Police at 949-451-5234 or the campus operator at 949-451-5100. It is your responsibility to obtain a valid parking permit and park legally.
