Parking Information
Parking and Traffic Control
To maintain safety and to minimize parking inconvenience the following traffic regulations are enforced by the Santa Fe College Police Department (SFPD).
- The speed limit on campus is 20 mph 24/7 and is strictly enforced.
- At present SF does not require a decal for students or charge a fee for parking. However, there are several area lots reserved for faculty parking and the faculty members who park in these lots are given decals. Students are not permitted to park in the faculty lots. Citations will be issued to those who violate the faculty parking. Reserved parking for faculty zones are designated by blue marking.
- Restricted parking (blue spaces) for SF staff/faculty is lifted after 3pm and anyone can park in those spaces.
- Handicapped zones are enforced at all times. Handicapped violations are at least $100.
- Parking in a service drive for the purpose of loading or unloading will require a special permit which can be obtained from the SFPD.
- Parking on the grass is forbidden. The only exceptions are:
- When a grassy area is designated for a new parking lot and is clearly marked.
- When a one-time special event requires parking on the grass and usage is authorized.
- SF requires motorcycle riders to park their vehicles in the areas designated as motorcycle zones.
- Bicycle racks are provided. Bikes may not be taken into buildings or parked anywhere other than in these racks. Bicycle traffic shall be restricted to those roadways open to motor vehicles. All other sidewalks, passageways, concourses, and hallways are closed to bicycle traffic unless clearly marked and designated for such traffic.
- Skateboards, scooters, roller skates, hoverboards, in-line skates and similar devices may not be ridden anywhere on the property of Santa Fe College.
Those who violate these regulations will be issued citations by SFPD through rule
6.8 of the college administrative rules manual. Failure to make payment for citations
issued may result in the holding of transcripts, flagging of records and the booting
of vehicle. Payment of citations is made to the college cashier's office located in
the Robertson Administration Building.
Citations may be contested by completing an online appeal at the Student Parking Appeals website.
Non-students who want to contest a parking citation must fill out the electronic appeals form. These individuals do not use the online student appeals process.
