Parking Permit

Parking Permit Procedures/Regulations

The Department of Public Safety is responsible for the campus parking program, which includes the registration of all faculty, staff and student vehicles, and the enforcement of parking and traffic regulations.

CONCEPT
Parking permits are sold to eligible personnel and students presenting a valid KCC identification card. Registered students may purchase their permits in the Bursar office located in room A205. Vehicle documentation will be required. The issuance of parking permits constitutes revocable permission to park a vehicle in the On-campus or Manhattan Beach lot. They are issued with the understanding that neither Kingsborough Community College nor The City University of New York assumes any liability whatsoever for any damage to the vehicle; breaking or entering the vehicle; theft from the vehicle or from any other claim whatsoever with respect to said vehicle. The vehicle is brought onto the campus entirely at the owner's risk.
The issuance of a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space, but does provide the permit holder with the opportunity to park in authorized areas when there are available parking spaces.

ELIGIBILITY
Faculty & staff members are allowed to purchase an on campus parking permit upon presentation of a valid KCC identification card.

• Students - Manhattan Beach Parking Permits:
  All students may purchase a Manhattan Beach parking permit at the time that they register for the current semester. They must present a valid KCC identification card at the time of purchase.
• Students - On Campus Parking Permits:
  Preliminary eligibility is determined by the college on a categorical basis. Notification of preliminary eligibility is effected by the issuing office and/or mail. Access to the campus is via the North Gate (Shore Boulevard).
  Eligible persons must possess a valid driver's license, vehicle registration, and the required insurance coverage. Presentation of these documents is required upon request of College Public Safety personnel.

EXPIRATION
Upon presentation of the aforementioned documentation and payment of the prescribed fee, a college permit is issued for the exclusive use of that person until the expiration date indicated thereon or revocation by the college, whichever is earlier.

SURRENDER
The permit remains the property of the college and must be surrendered upon the demand of responsible college officials including, but not limited to deans, the Business Manager, the Director of Public Safety, Public Safety supervisors and Public Safety officers. Receipts will be issued to authorized permit holders upon confiscation.

REVOCATION
The college reserves the right to revoke the permit in violation of regulations and subject to administrative action without refund of fee in all cases of unauthorized use and disqualification under the Traffic and Parking Regulations. If revoked, the permit issued must be returned to the Public Safety office.
The right is also reserved to revoke the permit and refund the fee on a prorated basis for the time unused when, in the opinion of the college, college operating requirements so dictate.

PENALTIES
The permit, being the property of the college, is considered an official document within the purview of the New York State Penal Law. The college may elect to prosecute instances of misuse and/or tampering through the courts in lieu of or in addition to college disciplinary proceedings and administrative actions. Thefts of permits may be prosecuted under the Law, as well as under college procedures.
Infractions of the Traffic and Parking Regulations will result in a warning/sticker. Continued violations will result in loss of parking privileges.

REPLACEMENT OF LOST OR STOLEN PERMITS

There is a replacement charge for any lost or stolen permit not accompanied by a police report.

Each person sold the use of a permit assumes the responsibility for safeguarding the permit and for reporting a missing/lost/stolen permit immediately to the Public Safety office. In the event the permit is lost the fee will not be refunded. However, upon filing the proper paperwork in the Public Safety office you will be permitted to purchase a replacement permit. If you do not wish to replace the permit, the loss must still be reported to the Public Safety office since the permit may be found and may be used by the finder to attempt entry to the campus. If the permit is recovered it will be returned to the original permit holder. If the permit was replaced, the replacement fee will be refunded and the permit holder will continue to use the replacement permit.

Furthermore, if there is no loss report filed, finding the permit in the possession of another will be taken as evidence that both the user and the original permit holder are in violation of regulations and subject to administrative action, legal action, or both.

In the event a permit is stolen, it must be reported by the owner to the Police Department and to the Public Safety office. Upon delivery of a Police Department Case Number, the subject will be issued a new permit upon payment of full face value. This payment is not intended as a punitive fee. It is not only the cost of clerical time in record alteration, there is posting the stolen number in the Public Safety booth, checking each entering number against the one posted, apprehending the user if one appears, as well as arrest and prosecution of the user. These precautions cannot be avoided regardless of their complexity and cost. We are obligated to protect the campus and once notified that a particular permit may be in the hands of an unauthorized person, we must attempt to intercept and to prosecute, when possible.  These precautions are expensive and only partially, defrayed be the fee applied here.

DISPLAY
Parking permits must be visible at all times when a vehicle enters and parks on campus. The parking permit must be hung from the rearview mirror. Violation of this regulation may result in revocation of parking privileges.

TRANSFERABILITY
Permits are issued for the use of a specific person and may not be transferred to, or used by, any other person. The owner of the permit may use it in any of their own vehicles. Violation of this regulation may result in revocation of parking privileges.
