Parking on Campus
Students and belongings may be dropped off at the entrance of the residence hall. Please note there is no parking on site.
After student drop off, please proceed by parking in the nearest permitted parking lot. University parking rules and regulations are strictly enforced between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., weekdays unless otherwise posted. After 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and on weekends, visitors may park in any on-campus space not designated as reserved, restricted, or limited.
Parking is specifically prohibited on alleyways, drive lanes, driveways, fire lanes, pedestrian sidewalks and pedestrian ways, roadways and any other location that is not specifically posted or marked to clearly accommodate parking. Although the surface conditions in several University parking areas are unsuited to pavement markings, signage is provided within them to specify their intended uses.

Visitors with state-issued handicap placards/plates may park within any of UConn's fee-paid parking spaces such as PayByPhone, metered or garage parking spaces. UConn provides a variety of accessible van and shuttle services on the Storrs Campus. Information regarding those services can be found on the university’s Accessibility website or by calling (860) 486-4991.
