Student Holidays
Students receive a holiday from class, but the university remains open, and faculty and staff remain at work. During Student breaks, all student surface lots (RH, SZ, GZ, OZ) are enforced as “Overflow” lots. Overflow means a current year parking permit is still required, but all student surface lots are available to permit holders; Park and Ride permit holders are still restricted to lot 120, and all single parking lot (Visual Arts Annex, Fuel Station, etc.) permit holders are restricted to their normal parking lots. All faculty, staff, and family housing surface lots, as well as all garages, meters, reserved spaces, and reserved/restricted lots are enforced as normal. Only student surface parking lots change.
