January Term and Holiday Parking

Public safety reminds students, faculty, and staff that vehicles left on campus during January Term should be moved to Gorse Parking Lot in the two rows nearest the emergency telephone. This area was created so that vehicles may be left during vacation periods without being towed during snow removal. Vehicles left elsewhere on campus that impede snow removal will be towed.
