Parking
It is important that holders of campus parking permits find spaces in the assigned lots.

Permits
A parking permit is required to park in all College owned or leased parking lots. Visitors are not required to have permits. Permits are issued to resident seniors, juniors, and sophomores in that order on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the limited number of spaces, freshmen are not encouraged to bring vehicles to school. Freshmen who decide to bring a car to campus will be issued permits by class seniority.  Freshman will be assigned to park in the Taylor parking lot.

You may park in any student lot (with the exception of Freshmen) and that is where you are to park 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Student lots will not be open after 5:00 PM or on weekends. Faculty & staff lots will open after 5:00 PM and on weekends, but you must return to a student lot by 6:00 AM, Monday thru Friday.

Lots
Lots adjacent to Dieter-Porter and Henry Memorial Gym are reserved for faculty, staff, handicap and visitor parking.

Lots adjacent to the Admission House and the Howard J. Burnett Center are reserved for handicap and visitor parking. There is no parking at Rossin Campus Center. The Campus Center is for drop off only. There is no parking at any time. Any vehicle must be accompanied by a driver at all times.

All handicap parking, with the exception of the Visitors and Campus Center lots, are open to faculty, staff, & students with properly displayed plate or placard.

Fine Schedule
