Parking
Students who wish to park on campus must purchase a parking pass for the whole academic year beginning in September. If a parking pass is no longer needed, students can return the pass and complete a parking pass cancellation form available at the front office. The prorated amount will be refunded to the student’s account. Daily parking is available, please see reception for rates.

Security
Columbia Bible College places a high priority on the public safety of the campus community. To help maintain security, every student and staff member is issued a prox card with picture ID. Each prox card is coded to allow access to specific buildings and rooms on campus. For example, commuters gain access to the Commuter Lounge with their prox card, and residents need their prox cards to access their building and floor.
Note that our 24-hour on-campus assistance line is printed on the back of every prox card, so you should never have trouble finding it.
