Parking on Campus during Snow Emergencies
The Housing site details where to park your car during snow emergencies. Failure to move your car can result in a ticket and possibly your car being towed. The parking lots and roads must be clear so Facilities can remove the snow efficiently. Your cooperation is appreciated.
Public Safety Information
Please do not contact the Public Safety office for updates and notifications on snow emergencies. They will be busy dealing with the situation, and need their phone lines open. If you have a safety or health emergency, call 508-999-9191.
