General Information
NY–Alert
Suffolk County Community College has implemented NY–ALERT, a service of the New York State Emergency
Management Office.
This system will allow alerts to be sent directly to you in response to any event or situation which
poses a campus safety concern. By enrolling in NY–ALERT, we will be able to reach you by telephone, text
message, e-mail, or fax. Participation is encouraged, but completely voluntary. To sign on for this service,
simply follow the instructions on the College’s student portal (MySCCC) located at:
http://www.sunysuffolk.edu/About/359.asp.Your contact information will only be used for the purposes of
keeping you informed through the NY–ALERT system and will not be shared with any other organization.
For enhanced safety and security, enter your information today. During campus or area emergencies,
students can check the College Web site regularly for updates.
Campus Traffic and Parking Regulations
The following traffic and parking regulations are designed for the safety of all members of the college
community. Questions should be directed to your campus Public Safety Office. Public Safety offices are
located in the following areas: Ammerman Campus – Annex, Room 107; Michael J. Grant Campus – North
Cottage; Eastern Campus – Peconic Building, Room 119.
Enforcement of Rules and Regulations
Campus Public Safety Officers are authorized to enforce these and other rules and regulations and to
prevent violations thereof. Failure to obey the directions and instructions of Public Safety personnel will
subject you to a penalty. You must carry your student ID card at all times while on campus. Local law
enforcement will occasionally patrol and enforce all NYS Vehicular and Traffic Laws.
Vehicle Registration
With the exception of official visitors, all motor vehicles on the campus, including motorcycles, must be
registered with the College. If there is an occasion when you have to drive an unregistered vehicle onto
the campus, you must obtain a temporary parking pass from campus Public Safety. Information on how to
register your vehicle(s) can be found online at
http://www.sunysuffolk.edu/About/1159.aspor at your campus
Public Safety Office. Vehicles not registered that are ticketed will be cross-checked with the NYS DMV
system and the owner of the car will receive the ticket.
Parking Permits
All students, faculty, staff and administrators must have a valid parking permit in order to park on College
property. Permits can be obtained online through the student or faculty/staff portal. Click on the parking
permit link and follow the instructions for registering your vehicle; more than one vehicle can be registered
with the College. After completing the registration process, a parking permit will be mailed to the address
you provide. Permits are transferable to other vehicles. ALL vehicles must be registered with the College.
For those persons who do not have access to a computer at home, computers are available at all campus
libraries and computer laboratories.
Display of Permit
All parking permits are to be displayed in the front windshield on the lower right (passenger) interior side.
Failure to properly display a permit may result in a summons being issued. The permit decal can be
moved from one vehicle to another, so long as each vehicle has been properly registered with the College.
Parking permits obtained through misrepresentation or other unauthorized means are void, and appropriate
disciplinary action will be taken against offenders. Parking permits are issued to the person and not to
the vehicle.
