Event Parking

Campus parking lots may be preempted for events, especially home football and men's basketball games, and commencement. Signs will be posted at the entrance to the affected parking lots at least two business days in advance of the event, with the date(s) and time(s) of the restriction. Vehicles will be ticketed, and may be towed, if they remain in the parking lot after the posted restriction begins.
