Move-Out and Summer Parking

Summer Parking

Starting at 5 a.m. Monday, May 20, and continuing throughout the summer, Public Safety will not require vehicle parking permits in commuter and employee (red or yellow) lots from 5 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily.  There still will be no overnight parking in any of these lots.

Move out

It is that time of year when students begin to pack up all of their belongings and move out of the residence halls for the summer. A year’s worth of stuff being moved in only a few hours. To better assist students and their helpers, there will be no parking in Lots A and B on Wednesday May 22, Thursday May 23 and Friday May 24. Residents from Dowling and Brady will be allowed to park in Lot B and residents in JPII and Ireland will park in Lot A for no more than one hour. Also, students from Morrisson and Flynn Residence Halls are to park in R-2 or R-3.

To accommodate students in Murray Hall, there will be major sections of Lot G that will be closed off for these residents to load their items. Again, there will be a one hour limit in order to accommodate all of the students.

Lot U and a portion of Lot K will be closed on Wednesday, May 22 through Friday May 24 to accommodate students moving out of center campus residences.

When done moving the items out of their residence hall, vehicles can be parking in Lots O or M or in the Anderson Parking Facility.

Students moving out have been advised that the university does not have space for trucks or vehicles with trailers to park during move out at any of the above locations. Some other options need to be developed.

Please do not park in the 15-minute zone under the north campus skyway for loading vehicles; the likelihood of parking longer than 15 minutes, blocking a fire lane, or causing traffic congestion is very high.

Do not, under any circumstances, park in fire lanes, drive aisles, in front of dumpsters, or other restricted area to load vehicles during move-out. Additionally, no trucks (other than pickup trucks) or trailers are permitted for move-out.

Summer C-Pass Sales

The summer Metro Transit C-Pass will be available for purchase, Monday, May 27 for $90.00. The C-Pass will be valid from June 1- Aug. 15.
