These restrictions will remain in effect until 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 3 at which time we will return to the usual lot designations.

The general parking areas of the Library, Jenson-Noble, and City Pool lots will be reserved for visitors. Students should move their vehicles from these lots to either the Regents Center or Farwell lots. Faculty and staff may park in the Library and Sampson Hoffland lots provided they move by 5:30 p.m. on that Thursday, Friday and Saturday and 10:00 a.m. on Sunday unless attending the performance.

Exception - Vehicles displaying a Commuter, Baker or College Apartment sticker may park in the gravel City Pool lot provided they vacate the spaces before 4:00 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 10:00 a.m. on Sunday.

The Faculty/Staff parking area by Valders will be reserved for Handicapped Parking. Alternative parking includes the roadway from Sampson Hoffland to the main gate, Regents Center and Farwell lots.

Starting at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 30 through Sunday December 3 the lots on the east and west side of the Center for Faith and Life will also be designated for handicapped parking only.
