Visitor Parking

Lot 5A, located adjacent to the Hill Student Center, has designated reserved parking for our tour guests. If you are using GPS, use the address listed above to locate the correct lot, which is the only one where we can validate your parking. Once you pull the parking ticket from the Lot 5A entrance, drive straight as far as you can go, then turn left and proceed to the row of parking spaces facing University Boulevard. If those spaces are full, then you may park in any visitor space in that lot. Place the parking pass we emailed you on your dashboard before exiting your car. When you arrive, you should receive a parking ticket from the gate.
