Parking and Transportation Updates
Student parking permits are required for Fall 2024.
Discounted Parking: Students who have been awarded a California Community Promise Grant (CCPG, formerly BOG) through their financial aid application (FAFSA or CADAA) will receive a discounted cost for a parking permit. The Sierra College Financial Aid system will automatically know if a student has received a CCPG.
Parking garage on Rocklin Campus: Sierra College students and employees may park on floors 1 – 5 with a valid permit. There are EV charging stations on floors 1 and 2. View campus map.
Visit Transportation for information about free bus transportation and discounted rideshare services.
Campus Safety Tips
- Our Department of Community Safety provides safety escorts to and from class on our Rocklin and Nevada County Campuses. Call (916) 660-7120 to request a safety escort.
- Remember to arrive early the first few weeks of the semester as traffic volumes can be high.
- Park between lines (not on them).
- If an accident occurs, do not leave the scene without exchanging information or leaving a note with your contact information.
The Sierra College Vehicle Code, AP 6750 and the California Vehicle Code are enforced on District premises.

Permit Options, Fees and Refunds
All our campuses, except the Roseville Center, require parking permits or daily passes during the week.
Vehicles parking at Rocklin Campus, Nevada County Campus or Tahoe-Truckee must display a valid permit. At Roseville Center, there are two public garages with entrances on both Oak Street and Vernon Street, which do not require parking permits.
The penalty for parking without a permit or daily pass is $35. Your vehicle may be towed away if you are illegally parked. Illegal parking includes blocking a roadway, fire access or another vehicle. Receive five or more unpaid parking citations and your vehicle may be impounded or immobilized until you pay all penalties and fees. For more details, view Sierra College Vehicle Code and AP 6750. Vehicle Code section 9.9 lists penalties and fees for a variety of parking and registration violations.
Refunds are available if you present parking decal to Department of Community Safety by the add/drop/refund deadline of the corresponding semester.
