Students: many of you are receiving parking citations for parking in wrong lots or areas where your permit doesn’t allow. Refer to your parking brochures that came with your permit and review all of the areas where your permit allows you to park. For example, Resident East permits can park in the LeShana lot (bordered by Villa and Fulton streets), and many of you are getting tickets for parking in the graduate lots surrounding the Roberts Center.
Commuters: the lot on 99W is a great choice as it is only two blocks from the quad and is very rarely full.
Resident West: if the areas on the south side of the quad are full, there is also RW parking north of the quad on Center street, Vermillion and Meridian St. Check your parking brochures for all areas that correspond to your permit as they are block and side of the street specific.

The School of Physical Therapy is excited to host a special presentation by Associate Professor Andrew Meszaros, PT, PhD, from 6 to 8 p.m. tonight (Thursday) in Canyon Commons 101 & 102.
