There are approximately 3100 parking spaces on the Main Campus and 600 spaces at the Dearborn Heights Campus. Parking at HFCC is free to students and employees. Employees must obtain a parking permit from the Office of Campus Safety before access to the employee parking lots is authorized. Students or visitors do not need parking passes to park at the college.

Parking Enforcement

Both state law and local ordinance authorize enforcement of parking regulations on campus with the same authority as public roadways. Accordingly, vehicles are only allowed to park in areas designated as parking spaces. Vehicles may not park on the grass, sidewalks, along curbs, in yellow hash marked areas, or in any other area not marked or designated as a parking space. Vehicles are not allowed on campus past 11:00 PM without special authorization from the Office of Campus Safety.

Parking Tickets

Campus Safety personnel have the authority to issue city parking citations to parking violators. Vehicles parked contrary to regulations will be ticketed and may be towed away at the owner's expense.

City Parking Tickets may be paid or contested through the 19th District Court in Dearborn. Fines and procedures including the address and phone number of the court is located on the back of the ticket.

Parking Stickers

In addition to city tickets, an orange warning sticker may be put on the offender's car window. The orange sticker is only a warning that the vehicle is parked illegally and is subject to ticketing and impoundment. No action is required by the driver except to move the vehicle before it is issued a ticket or is towed. Chronic offenders will be automatically receive a city ticket and will be towed at their expense.
