Parking enforcement will continue throughout Winter Break. If you are leaving a car on campus during Winter Break, it must be registered with Public Safety (even if you have a permit). Contact Jenn Borgo. All requests must be via email. Due to the possibility of snow over winter break, all vehicles staying on campus must be moved to Bushkill Lot B for the following dates: Dec. 17-Jan. 23,2026.

If you do not have a parking pass for the spring semester, do not bring a car to campus.

You will need to purchase a parking pass.
