For Standardized Patients (SPs)
SPs traveling to Stanford for an exercise or training session will be provided with “E” parking scratcher permit:

• Take only the number of permits needed for an exercise; return unused permits (as they do cost money).
• Do not dispose of expired permits; please return them so that they can be updated with current year sticker.
• Park ONLY in spaces marked “E”: available on the 4th floor of the Stock Farm parking structure, or in the lot next to the structure on the SW side (closest to Stock Farm Road) and Searsville parking lots (see map).
• Must be prominently displayed (hung from the rear view mirror) with the date of use properly scratched off.
   

For Persons with Disabilities
Stanford honors any state's disabled person placards in the following parking spaces on campus:

• Designated blue spaces
• Service vehicle spaces (a posted time limit may apply)
• Spaces marked "A", "C" and “Residential”
• Metered/visitor pay parking spaces, with the exception of the LKSC/Beckman lot where "pay-by-space-number" is enforced at specific parking spaces.

Please observe all posted signs to avoid being cited or towed. If you receive a parking citation while on campus, you will be responsible for paying the fine. CISL and Stanford University are not responsible for any parking citations. 

While Stanford is located in a fairly safe area, theft is always a possibility. It’s recommended that valuables be placed out of sight in your vehicle at all times.

Designated bicycle racks are located near the LSKC and around campus. Bicycles are NOT allowed inside any university buildings. When parking your bike, don’t obstruct walkways, railings, doorways or ramps intended for use by pedestrians or people with disabilities. The Department of Public Safety is not responsible or liable for lost, stolen, or damaged bicycles and may:

• Remove and impound improperly parked bikes. 
  
• Tag unattended bikes as abandoned with a warning notice.
• Tag and remove bicycles found inside the LKSC.
