Student & Visitor Parking on Campus

Parking Overview

Individuals who park at the main campus or the Georgetown Campus must purchase parking. For travel information, please visit our Maps & Directions page.

How to Purchase a Parking Permit

Student parking permits may be purchased online on this page: https://www.permitsales.net/seattlecolleges.

Your quarterly parking permit will arrive in the mail within five-seven business days to the address you indicate in the online application.

Please note that students will not be able to set up an account in this parking system until the next business day after registration is complete (if a student registers on a Friday or the day before a holiday they will be able to purchase on Monday or the next business day after the holiday).

For Central Students, once the purchase has been finalized, we will instruct you to pick up the permit at the parking garage booth from the parking attendant. For Wood Tech Students, please make sure to choose WTC as your campus. These permits will be mailed out once the purchase has been finalized.

South Seattle College students are able to purchase quarterly parking permits online. You will need to be a registered student at South with all of your outstanding fees from the prior quarter paid in full.

Purchase Parking Permit

Your quarterly parking permit will arrive in the mail within five-seven business days to the address you indicate in the online application. Watch for your permit as permits will not be replaced and fees are not refundable.

If you buy the permit within seven days of the quarter start date, you can download a temporary permit to use on the first few days of the quarter.

Carpool

A carpool is defined as two or more individuals commuting together for at least 50% of the carpool's longest individual commute distance.

Students must register at the start of each quarter with the Transportation Coordinator in the Robert Smith Building, room 50 (RSB map) and carpool each commute.

Registered participants must be old enough to be eligible for a Washington State driver's license.

A free ride match service is available from King County Metro Transit to help you form a carpool. Call Metro at 206.625.4500 for more information or apply online at: www.rideshareonline.com.
