The Campus Center Parking Garage has updated its entry system and is now gateless. Upon entering and exiting the premises, a camera will capture a picture of your license plate. The system will then compare how much time the driver paid for and how long they stayed. Please make sure you pay for your parking within 20 minutes of your arrival to avoid a ticket.

Parking Process 

From the upper garage entrance, levels 2-6 are available to park for the conference. We are offering a 50% parking discount for the day. Please follow the following instructions to receive the discount:
