Parking & Transportation

Parking

Parking is extremely limited on central campus, especially near residence halls. If you will be a resident on campus during the 2020 Celebration Weekend, we request that you unload your vehicle and immediately move it to the Lake Lot (west of the Rockne Memorial). (Do not leave anything of value visible in your parked vehicle.)

If you will be visiting campus during the 2020 Celebration Weekend but not staying in a dorm, we request that you park in the Stadium, Joyce, Compton, or Walsh Architecture Lots.

For safety, please do not park in any driveway, roadway, fire lane or any reserved locations. Cars parked illegally on campus may be towed at owner’s expense. Recreational Vehicles are prohibited from parking on central campus and are not allowed to park on any University property overnight. Additional traffic and parking restrictions may be in place due to unforeseen circumstances.
For information about accessible parking for people with disabilities, contact the parking office at 574-631-5053 or ND Police at 574-631-5555.
