DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY AND OFFICE OF STUDENT LIFE

PARKING PERMITS

All vehicles must properly display a valid parking permit to park on campus. Valid permits issued by Macon State College or Middle Georgia College are both currently being accepted. If your vehicle already has a Macon State College or Middle Georgia College parking permit please be sure to verify that it is still valid by checking the expiration date on the decal. The most current MSC Parking Decal expires August 15, 2013 and the most current MGC expires on July 31, 2012 . If your vehicle has either permit properly affixed, you are not required to obtain an additional permit until Fall Semester. At that time the new Middle Georgia State College permits will be released.

Permits are available at the Department of Public Safety located on the first floor of the Campus Support Services Building for the Macon Campus, the Department of Public Safety located in Alderman Hall for the Cochran Campus, in the Administrative Office of the Academic Service Building for the Warner Robins Campus and in the main buildings for Eastman and Dublin campuses. You will need to be able to provide your Student I.D. number and the vehicle description including the current tag number. You can receive a parking permit without a Student IdentificationCard, but you will need your student identification number and another form of picture identification. Office hours for all locations are Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. on Fridays. Permits for Resident Students can be obtained at the same locations during the same office hours.

All students are required to obtain and display a current permit as noted above by the 5th calendar day of each new semester in accordance with MGSC parking policies. Citations will be issued to vehicles that are not in compliance with this provision of the MGSC Parking Policy after this date. If you are driving a temporary vehicle you should report to Public Safety immediately to obtain a free temporary pass. Remember, ALL vehicles on campus are required to be registered at ALL times.

If you have any questions, please contact the Middle Georgia State College Department of Public Safety Office at 478-471-2414 for Macon and Warner Robins campuses or 478-934-3002 for Cochran, Eastman, and Dublin campuses. Students are required to read and abide by the full Macon State College Parking Policy. It is located at: http://www.maconstate.edu/publicSafety/docs/parkingPolicy.pdf
