Parking Regulations

Parking on Daytona State property is on a first-come, first-served basis. All vehicles must display a valid Daytona State Parking Decal or Parking Permit.

The College strives to provide on campus parking for all students, staff, faculty and visitors. Students may park in any available space on campus (in accordance with local and state regulations).

Daytona State carries no insurance for privately owned vehicles; therefore, all students, staff, faculty and visitors park at their own risk. To insure effective utilization of parking areas, the following parking regulations will be enforced.

Parking citations will be issued by Daytona State Safety Officers for violation of these regulations. Failure to pay citations can result in records, diplomas and certificates being held and a freeze on further registration.

No Parking Areas

• On streets, fire lanes, driveways, or grass areas, unless clearly permitted by signs.
• Adjacent to all yellow painted curbs or lines.
• Within 10' of a fire hydrant or within thirty feet of an intersection of any driveway or street.
• On any grass area.
• Customer or Emergency parking (signs are posted)

Painted Curb Area - Restricted Parking as Designated

• Blue curbing - Disabled parking only.
• Yellow curbing - Fire lanes only.

Parking Decals
All individuals who park on campus are required to obtain and display a current and valid parking decal. This includes all students, faculty, administrators, employees, visitors, consultants, vendors, and other members of the Daytona State community regardless of their classification or academic standing. Annual parking decals may be obtained at no cost upon providing documentation of paid tuition at the Cashier's Office on any campus. Decals must be displayed inside the driver's side rear window. Students requesting a second decal may obtain one at a cost of $10.

Disabled Parking
Daytona State is regulated by law to provide disabled spaces. These spaces shall comply with Florida Statutes regarding size and signage. Vehicles parked in disabled spaces shall comply with Florida Traffic Law. Disabled students should display a Daytona State parking decal as well as a Disabled Parking Permit.

Motorcycle Parking
All motorcycle areas are marked. Motorcycles must be parked in spaces or areas designated for motorcycle parking only. Parking motorcycles in spaces allocated for regular motor vehicles is prohibited. Motorcycles are restricted to the cemented motorcycle pads on campus:

• East of Building 101
• East of Building 150
• Northeast of Building 320
• Southeast of Building 530

(This avoids any damage to campus asphalt surfaces.)

Bicycle Parking
Any bicycle brought to the campus must be put in racks provided around the grounds. No bicycle can be brought into buildings, chained to trees or to light poles. No bicycle riding, skateboards, roller skates or roller blades are allowed on campus.

Lost & Stolen Decals
If a decal is lost or stolen, an incident report shall immediately be filed with Campus Safety. Upon determining that the decal is irrecoverable, marred, or mutilated, such person is to obtain a new decal. The original permit or satisfactory evidence of its destruction must be presented to Campus Safety. The fee shall be waived upon confirmation of forced entry and/or theft of vehicle from a certified police department constitutes valid confirmation.

Unavailability of Parking Spaces
The inability of a person to find a lawful, designated parking space is not justification for violation of these rules and shall not be considered as a mitigating circumstance in an appeal.

Parking Fines
Parking fines are $5.00, 7.50, and $10.00 progressively. After the third violation, vehicles will be towed from the campus at the owner's expense. Fines are to be paid within 10 days from the date issued. Citations are to be paid at the cashier's officer during business hours. Unpaid fines will result in a hold on student records, diplomas, transcripts, certificates and future registrations. Students will not be allowed to re-register until parking fines are paid.

Appeals Process
To appeal a parking ticket (Daytona Campus) you must have an Informal meeting with the Director of Campus Safety (Building 540) 8:15 a.m. - 9:00 a.m., any Wednesday. *All other campuses contact Dean's office.

Parking Tickets
Citations issued are processed in Campus Safety. The white copy is processed and the yellow copy is given to the violator. Tickets are entered into the computer. Checks and cash are accepted for payment in the Cashier's office (Building 100).
