Winter parking tips for students, faculty and staff

  • Prepare for full lots: Winter tends to fill up our lots quickly. Plan ahead and allow extra time during busy hours.
  • Snowy conditions: In snowy weather, park straight and centered in your stall to maximize available spaces. If you cannot see the lines due to snow cover, please try your best.
  • Park smart: For efficient parking, kindly park as close as possible to other vehicles while maintaining a safe distance.

As a reminder paid parking is in effect year round. Information on parking lots and rates can be found at Find Parking.
