Visitors may park in "X" or "B" zone, or in designated visitor parking areas. Details can be found by viewing our Campus Map"B" zones are colored in blue, and "X" zones are colored in gray.

Decal Placement

Decals are to be adhered to your vehicle on the driver’s side on the outside of your back windshield in the lower bottom portion in order to avoid receiving a citation. You CANNOT switch your decal from one vehicle to the next. If you have a soft top (i.e., jeep, convertible with a soft top), you can adhere your decal on the lower left bumper of your vehicle.
