Employees

ALL Champlain College employees must obtain and display a parking permit for their vehicle, regardless of where or when they park through champlain.thepermitstore.com. When you purchase a parking permit, you are paying for the right to park in one of several zone-specific Champlain lots.

City Streets

For parking purposes, employees are not considered members of “the Public” but are instead considered members of our Champlain Community. Employees are prohibited from parking on any Burlington street that is not specifically zoned for Champlain College affiliates (see black dots on map), regardless of whether there are signs in that location or not.

Ordering a Permit

ALL permits are ordered online at: champlain.thepermitstore.com. Applicants will be asked to create a new account in the system (this is different from your Champlain account). Select an account name that you will remember year after year (email is best) and create a password to access the account. Forgotten passwords can be retrieved at any time as long as the applicant can receive emails at the address used to create the account.

The following information is needed to complete a campus parking permit order:

  1. Personal Info: Name, Address, Email and College ID number
  2. Vehicle Info: Vehicle make, model, year, color and license plate number
  3. Payment: Credit card or electronic check. Payroll deduction is also available for qualified employees (this option ends after the first week of class)

If the application is approved, a parking permit will be sent in the mail to the campus mailbox or home address provided at registration. The permit takes approximately two weeks and comes from The Permit Store (not Champlain) in San Diego, CA so please make sure that you check your mail carefully. Do not assume it’s junk mail and recycle it.

While your permit is in the mail, you can print a 21-day temporary permit (from the date of order) to put on your dash. Print this from either the final confirmation screen when you order or in your account at champlain.thepermitstore.com under “View Permit”.
