Do I have to buy a parking permit for the fall semester?
Answer
Yes, student parking permits are required for the fall semester.
Vehicle registration will be required for the 2025 fall semester. Cypress College uses an online parking permit vehicle registration management system that makes it easy to activate your semester parking permit and add or remove vehicles you may park on campus.
If you activate your permit and add your vehicles in the system by Thursday, August 28, your fall parking permit will be sent to you via mail. Permits registered on or after Friday, August 29, will need to be picked up at the Campus Safety Office.
Parking permit enforcement begins Monday, September 8.
Note: You must have already purchased a semester (fall 2025) parking permit to access and use the vehicle registration management system.
After purchasing your permit, parking system access may be delayed by up to one (1) business day while the system updates your parking payment information.
All vehicles must display a current and valid parking permit decal.
Please reach out to the Campus Safety Office at (714) 484-7387 with any questions, or email parking@cypresscollege.edu with the subject line “Parking Pass.”
Students can only park in student parking lots: 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9. Head-in parking only.
One-Day Parking permits may be purchased on the PayByPhone app or can also be purchased online using a computer.

The cost of a one-day parking permit is $3 and is valid until 11:59 p.m. on the day of purchase. One-day parking permits allow one vehicle to park in any student marked parking space. One-day permits are assigned to individual vehicles and cannot be shared. Any vehicle found using a one-day that was issued to another vehicle will receive a parking citation.
