Parking and Parking Permits

Student Parking

On-campus parking is available at all campus sites, except the Downtown Education Center. All vehicles parked at the Truax Campus and Commercial Avenue Education Center in designated areas shall display a valid parking permit or be subject to ticketing and towing,at the owner's expense without warning. Parking permits cost $25.00 per semester. Madison College parking permits can be ordered online through your Student Center account prior to the start of each academic semester.  Permits that are ordered online are mailed out to the students two to three weeks prior to the start of the semester.  If you do not receive your permit in the mail before the start of the semester, please stop by the Public Safety Office, Room 117, located at the Truax Building, to check on the status of your permit.  If your permit is lost or undeliverable in the mail, and a second permit is necessary to be issued, the cost will be an additional $25. The college is not liable for lost, misplaced or undeliverable mail.  Once the semester has started permits can be obtained directly from the Public Safety Office, which is located on room 117, at the Truax Campus.
