Alma College Parking Policy
During the week all overnight visitors must pick up a green Visitor Permit at the Facilities and Service Management Office. The office is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Please provide the visitor’s license plate number. Visitors can park in Lot #2 overnight. Visitors arriving after 5 p.m. may request a Visitor Permit from Campus Safety and Security.
Weekday visitors must park in designated visitor parking spaces, which can be identified by the color-coded parking map. Parking spaces are available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., for daytime visitors. A parking permit is required for parking in the visitor spaces in Red Lot #7, but a permit is not required for the visitor spaces in Red Lot #8, which is limited to 2-hour parking.
During the weekends, visitors do not need a permit and can park in any student parking lot as long as it is a legal parking space. Open parking in student lots begins 5 p.m. Fridays through 5 p.m. Sundays when College is in session.
Questions should be directed to Nancy Harger in Facilities and Service Management (989) 463-7250.
