Final Selection Activities: Parking on Campus
Friday, February 28, 2025
Most of Friday’s activities take place on North and Central Campus. We recommend parking in the Coliseum Parking Deck (at the corner of Dunn Ave. and Jensen Dr.; enter from Jensen Dr.)
Morning activities for the Colleges of Engineering and Textiles will occur on Centennial campus. Those colleges will reach out with specific parking instructions for their activities.
Parking in the Coliseum Parking Deck requires a virtual parking permit that registers your vehicle’s license plate. The permit will allow you to park anywhere in the deck free of charge, except for the pay-by-plate spaces lot on the ground level. If you park in those spaces you will need to pay using the ParkMobile system.
The permit will be valid only for the vehicle license plate entered and is not valid in pay-by-plate locations.
Vehicle license plates cannot be changed once entered.
Please obtain your parking permit BEFORE leaving your vehicle unattended on campus.
Are you driving a rental car? If so, please wait to obtain your parking permit until after you have received your rental car.
