Central Alabama Community College provides students with parking spaces in designated parking lots. All students must obtain a parking decal from the CACC Police Department on the Alexander City, Childersburg, Talladega, and Prattville campuses/sites. On-campus parking spaces are limited; therefore, a parking decal is not a guarantee of an available parking space.
Ensuring the safety of our campus is a shared responsibility. Therefore, all individuals driving or parking motorized vehicles on campus must have a valid driver’s license, registration, and liability insurance. Additionally, all students must obtain a parking decal from the CACC Police Department or a designated office assigned by the Chief of Police, as these are crucial steps to adhering to the College safety regulations. The parking decals must be displayed in the manner designated at the time the decal is issued.
A parking decal should be removed if a registered vehicle is sold or traded or if the student is no longer enrolled at Central Alabama Community College. Any change in ownership of a registered vehicle must be reported immediately to the CACC Police Department.
Parking for Students with Disabilities
A student who needs special parking accommodations due to disability must present appropriate documentation from a medical doctor stating the nature, extent, and expected duration of the disability or a state issued handicap tag. Parking accommodations for students with disabilities are handled through the Office of Student Services along with the CACC Police Department. Faculty, staff, and students requiring parking accommodations may park in any designated parking space on campus, regardless of parking lot restrictions.
