Student Parking
Parking for students is free at SPC as long as you park in spaces reserved for students, designated with white lines.
Parking fines will be given to owners of vehicles illegally parked in spaces designated for handicapped visitors, hybrid vehicles, motorcycles or faculty/staff. Parking spaces are assigned by color code as follows:
- Yellow lined spaces: faculty and staff
- White lined spaces: student parking
- Green lined spaces: visitor parking
- Blue lined spaces: handicapped parking
The speed limit on campus is 10 miles per hour, and speeders may be ticketed. Any individual who operates a vehicle in a manner that might endanger the life and/or property of another while on campus is subject to a fine and/or disciplinary action. If any vehicle is to be left overnight on campus for any reason, campus security should be notified immediately at 727-791-2560. Vehicles left overnight without permission may be subject to towing at owner’s expense.
SPC assumes no responsibility or liability for theft or damage occurring to vehicles or other personal property while on college property.
