Campus Parking Map

The Campus Parking map depicts the assigned permitted parking for staff, students, and faculty.

California Baptist University (CBU) offers an array of parking for staff, students, and faculty. All vehicles, including motorcycles operated on campus must be registered with California Baptist University Department of Safety Services. Drivers are expected to comply with the University traffic and safety regulations; non-compliance may result in the suspension of parking and/or driving privileges on campus.  Issuance of a parking permit does not guarantee availability of a parking space.

The Department of Safety Services may issue temporary permits needed for an extended period of time.
