JUST VISITING
Thank you for your interest in Nassau Community College. Beginning with the Spring 2007 semester all NCC students are required to register all vehicles that will be driven to campus. Due to this new policy, all visitors to our campus will be required to obtain a vehicle pass from our Public Safety Office prior to parking in any campus lot. Please be aware that failure to obtain a vehicle pass will result in parking fines. The vehicle pass will allow you to park in designated student parking areas while visiting our campus. It does not allow you to park in spots marked “permit only” or in other areas which were traditionally enforced. It is also not a guarantee of finding a parking spot.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Public Safety Office at 516.572.7100.
Nassau Community College's 225-acre campus is located in central Nassau County and is easily reached from Meadowbrook Parkway (Exits M3 and M4) or from entrances on Stewart Avenue and Hempstead Turnpike.
