Lost & Found

The College Sheriff’s Department maintains WLAC's Lost and Found. Found items should be taken to the College Sheriff’s Office to facilitate the return to its owner.
The Sheriff's Station will attempt to give notification if items turned in have identification.
Items turned in are logged and kept for the duration of the semester and then discarded according to established procedures.

  • Identification is required to claim property.
  • Inquiries may be made either in person or by telephone.
  • The College is not responsible for any personal property left on campus.

Parking

Persons with a valid Disabled Placard registered to them will be allowed to park in any valid Student, Faculty/Staff, and Disabled Parking stalls on campus.

Parking permits are required all the time to park in any campus parking lot. All California Vehicle Codes will be enforced on campus.

All permits must be displayed face up and must be clearly visible for parking enforcement. The semester, year, and permit number must be clearly visible and not obstructed from view. It is the owner’s responsibility to remember to display their parking permit when they park and leave their vehicle. All vehicles must be out of the parking lots by 11PM.
