Parking: Parking passes are required for those who will be parking on campus. You can obtain a pass from Lorie when you arrive. Please put it in your car immediately. The parking patrol is very efficient here and a ticket can be as high as $25.

With a pass, you can park at any Faculty/Employee/Visitor spot. Do not park in service spot nor at meters (unless you plan on paying for them) There is limited parking available in the non-gated lot at the north end of the physics building (closest to Grand River Avenue). If that lot is full, you may need to have someone let you into the gated lot at the south end of the building. Tell Lorie when you pick up your pass whether or not you need to park there.
