Faculty, Staff and Students, both Day Division and Continuing Education Division are required to register their vehicles. Students register with the Campus Police Department while faculty and staff register with the Director of Facilities.

All registered vehicles must maintain parking decals on their vehicles. Decals are to be placed on the inside (facing out) of the left upper corner of the rear driver's side window.
If the vehicle has no rear window, the decal should be placed on the left upper corner of the driver's window.

The registration is to be accomplished by the end of the first week of the school semester. A fine of five dollars ($15.00) will be imposed for each offense for either failure to register a vehicle or failure to display a Holyoke Community College parking decal. When driving a vehicle, which does not display a campus decal, a temporary permit must be obtained before parking.
