Visitor & Driver Tips
Drivers visiting during peak morning and early afternoon class changeover hours (9:00 AM to 1:00 PM) should allocate a few extra minutes to find a preferred stall close to their destination building. While general campus parking is typically free and open during regular hours, visitors should always heed posted signage regarding staff-reserved spaces, overnight restrictions, or special event parking designations.
