  • Student Parking Information

    If you plan to drive a car to school, you must obtain a Prep Parking Permit from the Dean's office. The student's current driver's license and car registration are required. Parking decals will be distributed from the Dean’s Office. 

    Students will be issued parking permits for specific student lots through the Dean’s office. Issuance of a permit does not guarantee a parking spot on any given day - spots are available on a first come, first-served basis. If parking spots are not available for students in the designated lots, they will need to park legally on streets adjacent to campus. No student may park in the Plaza in front of the Gesu or in the faculty lots. Permits must immediately be hung from the rear-view mirror. The car must be parked in designated lots for students. Violators will receive consequences as determined by the Dean.
