Enforcement

The campus can only enforce parking within the campus perimeter. As a courtesy to our neighbors, off-campus "No CSULB Parking" signs may be posted in the streets directly adjacent to the campus perimeter for the first three weeks of each semester.

All off-campus parking enforcement questions should be directed to the City of Long Beach Traffic Enforcement Division at 562.435.6711 or LBParking-Enforcement@longbeach.gov.

Parking on campus is enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including holidays. If you decide to park on campus, some form of paid parking is required.

Parking permits are non-transferable and can only be used by the individual that purchased the permit. Permit privileges may be revoked for any individuals found sharing permits or in violation of other CSULB Parking Regulations listed below.

The California Vehicle Code (CVC) is enforced on campus. Enforcement officers are granted the discretion to cite CVC violations that they see on campus and deem as unsafe.

Parking locations on campus consist of designated General (G) Parking, Employee (E) parking, colored curbs and special signage within specific parking classifications. Limited overnight parking is available at select locations on campus. Detailed information regarding these items is also provided below.

Title 5, Article 7, Section 42201(a) of the California Code of Regulations specifies that the university president may grant permission for the parking of vehicles on campus to those persons who have paid a parking fee. While possession of a valid and current university parking permit entitles the possessor to parking privileges, the university retains ownership rights and permits may be revoked, canceled or recalled for cause at the discretion of Parking and Transportation Services or the University Police department. Administration and daily operations of the CSULB parking program are the responsibility of Parking and Transportation Services and the University Police Department. Parking regulations are subject to change without notice. Failure to follow all parking rules and regulations may result in fines, penalties and additional administrative action.

The State of California, California State University, Long Beach (and its employees) shall not be held responsible or liable for any damage or loss by theft, fire, accident, or any other cause whatsoever to any vehicle, or contents thereof, that occurs on university property. Add UPD’s contact information so customers can contact them.
