Parking

Students must register their vehicles with the Security Office, located inside the main entrance of Godbey Hall. An NRCC parking permit for the current year will be issued for each vehicle that is registered and must be visible and affixed to the rear view mirror. Motorcycle parking is permitted in the crossed-out areas. The Christiansburg site does not require an NRCC parking permit while attending classes at this location. Students must have a state-issued handicapped parking permit to park in the handicapped spaces at the Christiansburg site. NRCC parking permits for handicapped persons are valid for the campus in Dublin only. For handicapped parking areas on the campus in Dublin, refer to the campus map. There is no cost for parking permits. Student permits are valid from June 1 to May 31 and must be renewed each year.
