Parking Policies and Procedures

Authorization Procedures and Policy

There are two types of authorization depending on whether the vehicle is parked at the College on an on-going basis or just for one day.

On-going authorization

On-going authorization can be obtained by completing a Parking Authorization Form and providing appropriate documentation to OASID. A new form must be completed each semester. Appropriate documentation is defined as a valid state-issued parking permit. In addition, all individuals requesting authorized parking must provide medical documentation in support of the disability. The state-issued permit must belong to the person with a disability conducting business at the College who is either the driver or a passenger of the vehicle. Once the request for parking has been approved, a TC parking hang-tag will be issued. 

individuals with on-going parking privileges must abide by the following rules:

• A TC parking hang-tag must be displayed on the rearview mirror.
• The hang-tag must include the name and cell or office phone number where they can be reached.
• Directions from Public Safety officers must be followed at all times.

One-day authorization

This type of authorization permits the College to accommodate visitors, event participants, and prospective faculty, staff, and students. Authorization to park for one day can be obtained directly from the Public Safety officer stationed at the entrance to the parking lot by presenting a valid state-issued parking permit. Individuals must display the name and cell phone number where they can be reached, as well a schedule of times and locations where tehy can be contacted while parked at TC.  In addition to a valid state-issued parking permit, appropriate proof of Teachers College business will be required. 

For both types of authorization, Public Safety officers must be able to contact you at all times when parked at TC.

Public Safety officers will verify that all vehicles are duly authorized and in compliance with parking rules and procedures. Parking infractions include:
