Student Parking Policies and Procedures:  

Parking on the Mt. Carmel campus is a privilege and will be revoked if the student fails to comply with the following policies and procedures -
  1. Students must have the current 2025-26 parking sticker on their vehicle after August 22nd, 2025.  See #5 for sticker location.  After that date, citations will be issued.
  2. Students on Tier 1 are eligible for parking passes. Students on Tier 2 are ineligible for parking privileges.  If a student with parking privileges gets on Tier 2 (due to attendance, grades, or discipline) their parking privileges will be revoked.  If students come off Tier 2, they must inform Ms. Adelman in the Campus Safety office before you park in the parking lot.­­­
  3. Administration reserves the right to revoke parking privileges as a discipline response to any inappropriate behavior.
  4. Students parking in the MC parking lot MUST PARK IN DESIGNATED STUDENT PARKING AREAS ONLY. Students with a parking pass may park on the east side (stadium side) of the yellow dividing line.  Students parking in any area other than Student Parking will be subject to a City of San Diego parking ticket.  Fines are paid directly to the City of San Diego.  The current cost of a parking ticket is $52.50. 
  5. The parking sticker must be placed on the inside front windshield, lower left hand corner (driver’s side).  Stickers that are not clearly displayed and fully adhered will not be valid and the car will be ticketed.
  6. Reckless driving will result in the loss of parking privileges.
  7. If a student is driving a different car for one day only, they must have a one-day parking pass.  To obtain a one-day pass the student should come into the Administration office and request a one-day pass from Ms. Adelman in the Campus Safety office before 8:30am.
  8. Citations are issued on vehicles without a valid parking sticker, vehicles with the parking sticker not fully affixed, student vehicles parking in any area other than the student parking area, vehicles parking in red zones, fire lanes, auto shop, behind the school, and various other parking violations.  Cars must be parked in a legitimate, lined parking space.   Since our parking lanes are one-way only, you may not park against the flow of traffic (DO NOT back into a space or pull through to an empty space in front of you).  Note - Fire lane and red zone tickets, etc. are higher ticket fees than other violations.
  9. Possession of a parking sticker does not guarantee there will be a parking spot available in the student parking section. 
  10. PUSD is not responsible for the theft of or damage to belongings or vehicles parked in the parking lot.
  11. Misuse of parking privileges, violation of parking regulations, or failure to meet established qualifications may result in revocation of parking privileges for the remainder of the school year.
  12. Citations are issued by the City of San Diego.
    * Citations can and will be issued for non-compliance of ALL parking lot rules and regulations.
    * Fines are set by the city and vary according to the specific offense.
    * There is NO appeal process at the school site. Please read the citation in regard to the city's appeal process.
