Student Announce February 5, 2026

Parking Lot #3 (by SLC/UPD/TH's) will be closing at 4pm on Friday, February 6th. Parking Lot #3 will remain closed into the weekend until the Admitted Student Day guests have cleared out on Saturday evening. Students and visitors that are being required to move should park in any other available residential student parking lots. Please remember that Parking lot #4 (10 Elm) is NOT a residential student parking lot and you should refrain from moving your vehicles there. 

There is always available parking in lots 19, 20, 20a (near the Pioneer Stadium) or parking lot 31 (which can be accessed behind Peet Hall). 

Vehicles that remain in closed parking lots, or re-enter after the closing time are subject to enforcement up to and including towing at the owner’s expense. Please spread the word to your fellow classmates and continue to monitor your daily announcements, as there will be many parking lot closures coming up.
