Note exception above for 2024 Summer through 2025 Spring.

A parking permit is required at all times at the Foothill College main campus and at the Sunnyvale Center. When properly displayed, a permit authorizes you to park in any student lot. Failure to properly display a parking permit, except in 30-minute parking spaces, will result in a citation.

Parking permits are valid at Foothill College, De Anza College, and the Sunnyvale Center.

There are three types of parking permit decals: annual, quarterly and day-use.

If you have a disability DMV placard or license plate, please see information below about Handicapped and Disability Parking Permits.

Handicapped and Disability Parking Permits

View campus map for exact locations.

Persons driving such vehicles

• are exempt from purchasing an FHDA parking permit;
• and may park in any designated blue "handicapped" parking space, or any student or staff space.

Temporary Disability Parking: Students who are temporarily disabled may apply for a college-issued Temporary Disability Parking Permit from the Disability Resource Center, Room 5801; or call (650) 949-7017. Important: Even though a Foothill-issued Temporary Disability Permit is displayed, vehicles are still required to display a current, valid FHDA parking permit.
