Semester Break Parking and Bus Service (2012-13)

During the break between the fall and spring semesters, demand for student parking is greatly reduced. As a result, Parking and Transportation Services does not control many of the student areas for permits during this period.

In general, all Residential (R) lots, with the exception of R17 (Wildcat Coal Lodge), and all single use Commuter (C) lots are off control from December 15 through January 6. All Employee (E) lots will remain on control, including the combination E/C lots specified below, as well as the R17 lot (Wildcat Coal Lodge).
