Summer student employees: While it has been great to park in the staff lots this summer, the staff and faculty have now all returned! Please park now where your 2017-18 permit allows you to park and kindly vacate the staff lots for returning staff and faculty.

The only exceptions would be the 99W commuter lot, the Morse lot and the Austin lot, as they are still undergoing construction but are scheduled to be completed before school begins.

  • No Risk: Rentals can be converted to a purchase by simply paying the difference between the rental and retail price.
