Parking Lots
There are many different parking lots available throughout the campus each designated to either students, employees, carpoolers or visitors. Signs are posted around campus to help direct drivers to the appropriate lots. A Campus Transportation Map has been created to help drivers learn the names of the different school lots in order to see which lots they should check out without having to drive all over campus.
Important Note: Students, staff and faculty who already have a parking permit DO NOT need to pay for parking in the lower lots or the West Campus parking structure.
The Campus Transportation Map is available to help make sense of all the parking lot information below. The map includes additional information on bus stops, bike racks, emergency phones, night shuttle routes, and other necessary knowledge to get to, from, and around campus.
