Can I park on the side of the road if I put my flasher/hazard lights on? Answer…
|
“No. The only time we allow vehicles to park on the side of the road in designated “No Parking” zones is right before or after a holiday and vacations when students would be leaving campus for an extended period of time. If you need to unload your vehicle, you may park in any of the designated temporary spots with your flashers on.”

What do I do if my assigned parking lot is completely filled? Can I park in another resident lot or an unmarked spot? Answer…
|
“You must always be parked in your assigned lot and in a legal parking spot. If your lot is full, park in the overflow lot (lot 07, located behind the fieldhouse) if you are a junior or senior and the Howe lot (lot 20, located between Howe Street and Chapel Road) if you are a sophomore. Lack of parking spaces is not considered a valid excuse for violation of parking regulations. Remember, parking is a privilege, not a right!”
