THE LOTS

Purple (V): Free Lot

The free lot is the farthest parking lot away from all of the school buildings. Though free, you still need a permit to park here. Shuttle busses that take you to different stops around the school leave the bus stop in the South end of the lot at random intervals Monday – Thursday 7am to 10pm, and from 7am to 4pm on Fridays but are not always reliable.

Peach (Y): Economy Lot $40/yr or $20/sem

The economy lot is the lower half of the free lot, even if you park in the closest spot to campus it still only saves you forty feet of walking. The shuttle bus leaves this lot from the same spot where the free lot parkers catch it.

Yellow (E,G,H,J,N,Q,P,T,S,R): Student Lots $80/yr or $50/sem

Yellow lots are scattered around campus and usually hold the nicest cars. Spots close to campus fill up fast and sometimes you park so far away, that it’s not worth the outrageous price you pay.

Green: Employee/Staff Lots

Don’t park here. The ten minutes it saved you is not worth the citation. No matter how quick you think you will be, they will catch you.

Pink lots are for your parents. But before they pay a meter let them know they can visit Parking Services for a free day pass, valid in any student or employee area on campus.
