Main Campus Security Information

JCC's desire is to provide an accessible and safe environment here on campus. The following information is provided for your safety as well as the consideration of others.

Campus Parking

Over 1,700 parking spaces are available on the Main JCC campus. Parking is allowed in designated areas only, and is strictly prohibited in fire/safety vehicle access lanes, City/County bus access lanes, handicap spaces, all campus drives and roadways.

Campus security personnel have been sworn to enforce Summit Township and State parking ordinances on campus. Safety Warnings and Parking Violation Citations will be issued when necessary to control parking and to provide a safe means of entry and exit from campus lots.

Faculty Parking

Faculty reserved parking shall be furnished at no cost to Faculty in posted lots. Human Resources (ext. 8460), issues your Faculty Parking Access Card.

Vehicle Assistance

Vehicle assistance is a courtesy provided by the Facilities Team (ext. 8681), as they are available and is limited to jumping of car batteries. Facilities will no longer provide unlock services. Emergency unlock is now contracted to Phelps Towing for a fee of $35.00 (517-764-1921). In the absence of Facilities Office personnel, call the main switchboard at 787‑0800 to obtain vehicle assistance.

Outside Campus Grounds Use

Use of Campus Grounds (sports fields, etc.) is restricted. For information and scheduling, please call (517) 796-8490.

For all events, vehicles (except snow removal equipment) are prohibited from driving on walkways or grounds areas. All vehicles shall be restricted to roadways and service ramps only.

Parking on grassy areas is strictly prohibited. Parking areas are provided on main campus. If you choose to park along the County roadway, keep vehicles off those grassy areas that are maintained by College personnel.

Employee Building Access

Building Access procedures are designed to protect you and your colleagues during nonscheduled business hours. Nonscheduled business hours are those times when campus is typically closed including weekends, holidays and weekdays before 7 AM or after 10 PM.

Please schedule your Building Access requests ahead of time (at least 24 hours) by posting a request under JCC Services/Facilities Services/Building Access folder with the following information:

  • Name/Ext
  • Date Needed
  • Entry/Exit Time
  • Building/Room
  • Reason

This will allow the Guard at the Campus Service Building to Schedule your safe and timely access. You will be required to fill out a Building Entry Card that will be supplied by the Guard when entering and leaving. When you are ready to leave, please contact the Guard at ext. 8620. If you get voice mail, please leave a complete message, as this will signal the Guard's Pager to check voice mail.

Unscheduled Building Access

If you need Building Access that was not scheduled, please call the Guard at least one hour before your arrival (517) 796-8620. When you arrive at Campus, go straight to the Campus Service Building Guard Station. The Guard will have you fill out a Building Entry Card and escort you to requested building.
