The sunny yellow lids on the bins in the outside enclosures are for recycling only. Please avoid dumping garbage in the recycling bins because it contaminates the entire bin. If trash has been mixed into the recycling, the entire bin must be taken to the landfill.
The recycling bins are a commingled service, so recyclables can be mixed together. View the full list of what can be recycled.
Recycling not only reduces the use of raw resources, it also reduces what is taken to landfills and saves the university money in garbage fees. Thank you for making a positive impact on our world!

This includes citations for parking in off-campus neighborhoods. You must park only where your permit allows or your car will be ticketed. Please help us by being considerate of our neighbors when you park.
If you are still uncertain about where your permit allows you to park, please review the parking brochure.
Still have parking questions or problems? Come see us at the Campus Public Safety office if:
The Campus Public Safety office is located on Meridian Street in the Stevens Center parking lot.

Because the university is asking students to stay on campus for the first weeks of school, the Office for Spiritual Life is extending you the opportunity to enjoy worship with your church community right here on campus. In addition, for the first five weeks of the semester, we are offering SpiL credit for attending each of these on-campus live stream gatherings.
As space is limited in each location, reserve your spot in the iAttended app, where you will also find the on-campus location for each gathering. We will watch the occupancy limits and open up additional rooms if needed. By way of reminder, our current university policy restricts group singing on campus.
