Parking needs for special visitors to campus

Due to a need for additional parking spots for campus visitors Tuesday (Dec. 15), J Lot, south of the library, will be partially blocked off to accommodate them. For those temporarily displaced during this time, we would encourage you to park north of the Dome or at the old AJ Automotive parking lot.



Financial-aid employees from across the state will be on campus for additional training. We appreciate your understanding in being displaced to accommodate extra visitors on campus. For questions, call 858-3210.
