GCIT student parking is for senior students only, underclassmen are NOT permitted to drive and park at GCIT under any circumstance. Any underclassman (non-senior) in violation of parking on school grounds will forfeit their right to apply for a parking permit in their senior year. GCIT is aware underclassmen have after-school activities, employment responsibilities, etc., but due to a lack of parking spaces parking is for senior students only.
