A fine for a parking violation is $10, except in the case of a disabled parking violation, which is $50. A citation for a moving violation, including improper or reckless driving, is $20; depending on the severity and the frequency of the offense(s), the violator may be subject to disciplinary and legal action.

Failure to properly display the parking hang tag or window sticker on the registered vehicle is a violation and may result in a $5 citation.

Citations
Within 10 school days, citations must be cleared with the Cashier’s office. A check or money order payable to St. Charles Community College may be sent with a copy of the citation to the Cashier’s office, 4601 Mid Rivers Mall Drive, Cottleville, MO 63376-2865.

Pr-305.2 Parking
Responsibility for locating a legal parking space rests with the operator of the motor vehicle. Improperly parked vehicles are subject to citation or tow.

A vehicle parked in a space reserved for other purposes, or any space not designated for College parking, may be ticketed or towed at the owner’s expense.

Disabled Parking
Students, faculty and staff with physical disabilities may apply for temporary or permanently disabled status through the Missouri Department of Revenue License Bureau. Only state-issued disabled hang tags and license plates will be recognized.

The operator of the motor vehicle is responsible for observing any markings or designations on any parking spaces. Parking is not allowed in driving lanes or streets. Driving lanes must be kept clear for emergency vehicles. All cars parked in driving lanes will be ticketed or towed at the owner’s expense. Curb-side parking is prohibited unless the curb forms part of a “lined” parking space.

Blue Lines: Disabled Parking Only

A student who operates a motor vehicle on campus is required to register the vehicle. A vehicle registration form should be completed after payment of tuition and fees. A hang tag will be issued, which should be displayed from the inside rear view mirror or on the dashboard, with the numbered and colored side in view from outside of the vehicle. Hang tag colors are chosen each year and there is no significance to the color.

All employees are required to register any motor vehicle that will be driven on campus. A vehicle parking window sticker will be issued and must be properly displayed when you are parked on campus. Employee stickers should be displayed on the back window on the driver’s side, or on the passenger’s side of the front windshield in a convertible.
