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.
