Summer is one of the biggest times of the year for visitors to campus, and security officers are noticing that our visitor rows in the Hoover, Stevens and VAC parking lots are filled with staff and student vehicles. Please do not park in these areas so there is abundant parking for our potential students coming to check out our campus.

Summer students and summer work-study students: While it is generally OK to park in the staff lots when there is room, please pay attention to the Daily Bruin announcements when we need to vacate certain lots for large events happening on campus like Genesis, summer camps and other events.

Thank you!
