With the coming of fall semester, students will be returning to campus, and many will be living off campus and commuting to their classes. As in past years, parking at the University is very limited. This fall, commuters will find the parking availability further stressed. Construction of Dundon-Berchtold Hall will limit parking along the main entryway and create traffic issues until completion in 2019.
Students who commute to campus are required to park on campus, not in the surrounding neighborhood. We offer a Franz Campus Parking Incentive for students who are willing to park in the Franz Campus parking lot (previously called the River Campus parking lot). The University is offering 100 free parking permits limited to that lot only. These permits will be available on a first come, first served basis beginning August 15. There is a shuttle that runs to and from the Franz Campus parking lot to the Pilot House and back, hours yet to be determined. Students and faculty and staff are also encouraged to explore other options for their commute, including carpooling, cycling, or public transportation.
