Visitor and Long-term Parking
Parking Permits: Visitors (including vendors, contractors, and other long-term visitors) are required to obtain a dated temporary parking permit in order to park on campus. Permits may be obtained at the Communications Center in Rhodes Hall (open 24 hours) at 13 Bath Rd., or at the Security office in the basement at Rhodes (Monday through Friday, 8-12 and 1-5).
Where to Park: Please park in the areas designated by security personnel after obtaining a visitors parking permit. A parking map can be obtained at the Communications Center. Permits must be displayed on the vehicle dashboard or mirror while parking on campus at all times.
Students bear responsibility for advising their visitors of college parking regulations and notices including parking bans.
Short Term and Summer Parking
Designated two-hour visiting parking areas, for which permits are not required, are located along North and South Campus Drive, and adjacent to the Russwurm House at 6-8 College Street. The Burton-Little Admissions visitor lot is for Admissions Visitors only.
From June 1 - August 15, visitors coming to campus for a one-day specific event may park in any blue designated area on campus unless otherwise noted. Long-term visitors should still go to the Communications Center or Security office to obtain a permit.
