Otherwise, you may park on a first-come, first-serve basis. Overnight parking is not allowed without permission from College Security. Parking for the disabled has been reserved at several locations. Only persons with a valid disabled license plate or handicapped placard issued by the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may park in those spaces. The College cannot issue any handicapped stickers.

Some designated parking areas, such as motorcycles and the Rock County Sheriff's Office personnel, are set aside for special purposes. There is no parking in crosswalks, driveways (unless otherwise posted), or on the paved areas adjacent to the buildings. These areas need to be kept open for emergency vehicles. Anyone parked in a restricted area without appropriate authorization may receive a parking citation issued by law enforcement.

On-site parking is available at the Monroe Campus as well. The rules noted above also apply to these locations.
