Enforcement Hours

Parking for the summer semester begins the Monday after Spring Semester finals are over and lasts through the Friday before Fall classes begin.

During the Summer, if you have a valid general faculty/staff permit, you may park in the commuter, blue housing, and stadium lots, along with the general faculty/staff lots.

If you have a valid commuter, housing, or stadium permit, you may park in the commuter, blue housing, and stadium lots. All other permits must park in their assigned lots.

If you have a valid restricted permit, you may park in the commuter, blue housing, and stadium lots, along with your assigned restricted lot.
