The Central Campus usually has adequate parking for everyone. Please observe parking restrictions as posted and park in marked parking stalls. Otherwise, you may park on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Overnight parking is not allowed without permission from College Security.

Persons with disabilities who have a proper state-issued license plate or identification card may park in specially marked spaces. Only persons with a valid disabled license plate or handicapped placard issued by a State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may park in those spaces. The College cannot issue any kind of handicapped sticker.

There are some designated parking areas set aside for special purposes such as motorcycles and the Rock County Sheriff Office's personnel. 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 Center for Transportation Studies, Monroe Campus, and the Advanced Manufacturing and Transportation Center in Milton. The rules noted above also apply to these locations.
