A valid student parking permit is required for all vehicles parked at the Truax or Commercial Avenue campuses. All vehicles must display a valid student permit at all times and park in designated areas only.

Designated parking areas for students are in marked stalls only. Parking along curbs or on the grass is not allowed anywhere on Madison College campuses. The Truax campus offers additional parking in overflow lots located adjacent to the Lussier Athletic Park on Anderson St. and off Straubel St.

Carpool parking is available in the main Truax student parking lot with a valid carpool parking permit. To be eligible for one of these permits, students must have a minimum of three occupants in the vehicle. 

Vehicles parked illegally or improperly using the carpool parking area are subject to a parking citation and/or towing at the owner’s expense without warning.  

Parking permits are included in tuition fees for degree-credit students and are free for non-credit students. Parking permits may be obtained at the Public Safety Office in Room B1240 of the main Truax building and are valid for one academic year -- always expiring in August. Please bring your student OneCard or other government-issued photo I.D.
