Please be a good neighbor and consider our surrounding neighborhoods
Our neighbors have reported that some students who park in the residential areas surrounding the college are not respectful of those neighborhoods. Our students have been reported emptying ashtrays and garbage from their cars onto the streets, playing loud music, and engaging in other types of disruptive behavior. We at DVC want to maintain an excellent reputation as a top notch institution of higher learning. Part of that means being a good neighbor. We understand that our students often have no other choice but to park on neighborhood streets, especially at the beginning of the semester and during heavy enrollment periods, but please show respect for our neighbors as you would your own. Help keep our neighborhoods clean, quiet and peaceful.

Road work may cause delays
Significant work on Golf Club Road and Contra Costa Boulevard will cause further impact and we are advising students to take alternate routes to campus to avoid the construction zones.
Work is expected to continue until December 2014.

Pardon our dust!
As part of the ongoing Commons Project, the construction zone and accessible routes to buildings have changed. Contractors have begun the final phase of the DVC commons project and access to and from the PAC and the Student Union Building are significantly impacted.
From lot 8, visitors can primarily access the PAC, the Student Union Building and the Art Building. The Student Services Center and all other buildings are better accessed from other parking lots. For accessible entry (ADA) - please park or drop off in lot 7 or 1. If you need mobility assistance from the lot 8 bus stop to a building on campus, contact DSS Mobility Services at 925-969-2173. Please view the campus map page and plan your route before arriving on campus.
