Q: My classes are all in the evening, do I still need to register my vehicle?
Yes, evening students can purchase a parking permit which allows them to park on-campus after 4:30 p.m. If there are occasions

parking meters.

Please stop by the Parking & Traffic Office and you may obtain a free parking permit for the day. Each person may receive
