Parking Pass

Faculty must RSVP to receive a parking pass for reserved parking at the front of the center. Parking passes will be sent via campus mail one week before the ceremony for those who RSVP. Faculty should not wait until the last minute to request a parking pass as staff will be unable to provide passes the days immediately before the ceremonies. Reserved parking is limited so it is available on a first-come basis.
