Parking Control Information Update

Summer parking control on campus ends on Friday, August 13, which means that summer parking permits will not be valid after that date.

These lots are temporarily off control for this two-week period to assist with student move-in. They return to regular parking control on the first day of classes, Monday, August 23.
