Parking Information
All students that submit a completed parking application will be listed for the lottery.
Students who have had ISS or OSS disciplinary actions during the previous semester will automatically have their name removed from the lottery list. They will not qualify for parking during the semester following the ISS/OSS discipline.
Student’s names will be drawn by an appointed committee to determine the parking space. The first name that is drawn will be assigned to space #1 and so on until the allotted spaces are full.
70 % of the senior names will be drawn first and assigned a space. After that 30% of the Junior names will be drawn and parking spaces in the junior lot will be filled. After this any remaining spaces will be filled by pulling names of the remaining seniors and then the remaining juniors.
Students who do NOT submit a completed parking application with attachments by the date shown on the application will not be placed on the lottery list and will automatically go on the waiting list.
