Successful Permit Registration - Display:

Error Messages:

The parking permit system is a vendor hosted application. Below is an explanation of error messages returned from the system and information on how to proceed should you experience any of these:

• "Vehicle Registration is not available!" (Students Only) - The message, "Vehicle Registration is not available!", will display if you have not paid the annual registration fee. This fee normally appears as part of your semester bill.
  
  
  

  Should the link not appear after paying your semester bill, check to see that you were charged the vehicle registration fee. If you were not charged the fee and you need a parking permit, you must go to your campus Cashier's Office to have the charge reinstated.

   

• "System Temporarily Unavailable" - This is the normal message that indicates that the registration system is off-line. Normally, the vehicle registration system is available whenever MySCCC is open. However, the system is a vendor hosted application and may be down periodically for maintenance or connection issues. Should you see this message. Try again your request at another time.
• "License Plate XXXXXXX is registered to another person. Please make sure the plate number is correct or contact the Public Safety Office for assistance." - This error message indicates that the plate number you have entered is already registered in Suffolk County Community College's parking permit system. Please confirm you have entered the correct vehicle information. If you need further assistance contact your campus Office of Public Safety.

• "Error 500" Or "An Error has Occurred Please Retry this Transaction" - This normally indicates that the transaction submitted to the server has failed. If you continue to receive this message, it indicates that the update application is out of service and you should try your request at another time. A system outage message will often be posted informing the community of this condition and providing information when services have been restored.
• "ID not found" Or "No Addressed Registered" (listed under the "Name and Address" column - This is an indication that a problem occurred during the address confirmation phase of the registration process. Click on the "Register Address" button and then proceed to "Add Vehicle" followed by "Register Permit."

• "No Permit Issued" - Parking Permit information is listed in the center of the Vehicle Registration page. For normal transactions, this will identify the type of permit issued and the permit ID. See Successful Permit Registration - Display at the bottom of this page. If the statement, "No Permit Issued", appears there, an error occurred during the permit registration process. After you have registered all your vehicles, click on the "Register Permit" button.

• No "Confirm Address" Button Or "State Code Not Recognized" Error Message The first phase of the vehicle registration process is to confirm your home address. This is necessary as your parking permit will be sent home. If you do not see a "Confirm Address" button or receive a message that your "State Code is not Recognized", there is probably an error in the home address listed in your student or HR record. For example, the state code may be listed as N.Y. as opposed to NY. Contact your campus Register's Office or Human Resources to have your address corrected. Once your addresses is updated, you can proceed to complete the registration process.

• License Plate is invalid! Please enter only the letters and numbers in the License Plate number - As indicated in the error message, the system does not take spaces or a "-" in the license plate field. Plate information must be entered using the plate's letters and numbers.
