Parking
Find more information about parking on campus here. After 7pm and on weekends, the gates are lifted to restricted parking areas and students, faculty, staff and the public can park in those lots. Always be mindful of signage, as events and other circumstances can change, and some spaces remain restricted at all times.
AppalCart
For students living off campus who don't want the expense of a parking pass, AppalCart is a great FREE alternative. Look under the tab for Routes and Schedules for detailed maps, route summaries, and football route information. Students are also encouraged to download their app to track when your bus will arrive.
