Resident parking permits are distributed to sophomores, juniors and seniors on a first-come basis. If space is available, a few freshman students (less than 300) may be assigned to the residence hall lots, also on a first-come basis. All other freshmen will be assigned to the freshman lots (62E and 63) located away from their residence halls.

When freshman students are assigned to the freshmen lots they are provide an evacuation schedule (click here to view schedule). This schedule specifies days and times when all vehicles must be removed from the freshman lots. This action is necessary because the freshmen lots are also used for football and special event parking. All vehicles MUST be removed from the freshmen lots on the dates and at the times specified on the evacuation schedule or they WILL be ticketed or towed. The fine for failing to remove a vehicle from the freshman lots for a special event is $25.
