Please park where your parking permit allows, as ticketing has begun

Wednesday, September 6th, 2017

Please begin parking immediately in the areas where your parking permit allows, as ticketing has already begun! Vehicles with Austin and Morse permits can park only in those two lots. Resident East, Resident West, Graduate and Commuter parking areas are very street and lot specific, so be sure to look at your parking brochure and keep it in your car so you will know where else to go in case your first choice is not available.

All registered vehicles must have either a parking permit affixed on the exterior of the rear of the vehicle (preferably the lower-left corner of the rear window) or a temporary permit on the dashboard. If your permit and parking brochure haven’t arrived yet, please check out the parking brochure on the security web pages or come to the security office to see one.
