Fac/Staff Parking Permits

Faculty/staff surface lot permits are available for pick up for those who have completed the registration and payment process. If you have not yet registered, please do so and then allow two business days for Public Safety to process your permit before coming in to pick it up from Public Safety dispatch.

Permit numbers this year have been pre-printed. Double check that the permit number you are given at the window matches the permit number you were assigned through Parking Services.

A photo ID is required for permit pick up.

Congratulations to Vivian Feng, the winner of the early registration permit drawing.

Free Stones

Need some nice rocks and stones for your garden or home? Help yourself to the rock pile in the Community Garden. It has gotten quite large, as we're pulling out all sorts of interesting rocks, pieces of foundations, and other things from the garden beds. Help yourself to the wheel barrows to move it to your vehicle.
