MCC ID needed to park at AC on St. Patrick’s Day

Due to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade happening around MCC-Penn Valley, the Administrative Center and Broadway Plaza on March 17, all MCC employees will need to show their MCC ID, or have an MCC employee parking sticker, to park in the Administrative Center garage that morning.

(Please note: there has been a change in street closing times. The streets around AC, BP and PV will begin to close at 7:30 a.m.)

Due to the parade, the AC will be having the annual Pot Luck Lunch in the break room. Navigating in and out of the garage will be extremely difficult during lunch, so bring a dish to share with fellow employees.

Students need parking stickers

Students receive free parking at MCC, but you need a parking sticker for your car or motorcycle. So pick one up at a campus police/ public safety office if you haven’t done that yet.


The consequences? You could get a fine for not having a parking sticker, or for parking in areas not marked as student parking.
