As the spring semester kicks off, some students at San Diego City College may be stepping onto campus for the first time.

Whether you are new or returning, here is some helpful information to help you get acquainted with school.

Parking free through Feb. 12

San Diego City College Campus Police will not be enforcing parking permits in student spots until Feb 12 according to the district’s website.

Students can purchase a parking permit through their SDCCD MyPortal or in person at the Accounting Office in the A building.

Hungry? City offers range of food options

The Knights Table Food Pantry has free food available and new hours. You can find dry goods such as rice, beans and pasta. There are also frozen lunches and drinks.   

It is located in the L building in the Basic Needs Center.

The Main Cafe and Grill, Knights Cafe, and the Knight Market located in the D building offer freshly made food and ample space for students to work. However, students must come prepared to pay – and do so without cash.
