Visitor & Driver Tips

While visitor parking is accessible, drivers should take note of campus parking designations during regular academic hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM), as select spaces may be restricted to resident students, commuter permits, or college faculty/staff. On major football or basketball game days, traffic around North Church Street and Evins Street increases significantly; arriving at least 45 to 60 minutes prior to kickoff or tipoff is strongly advised. Event-specific parking passes or nominal cash/card fees may apply during high-profile sporting events.
