There are several parking areas on the Summerdale campus. Parking is on a first-come, first-served basis for all available parking lots. Whenever possible, students are encouraged to carpool.

Applying for a Parking Permit

All persons MUST provide proof of insurance, valid vehicle registration, and a valid driver's license to obtain a parking permit form. Replacement cost for a lost, damaged or stolen parking permit will be $10.
