You will also be able to purchase your parking passes on the first day of classes outside of the anthropology building. Keep in mind, lines are long for parking passes on the first day. You may miss the first class session. There are parking spaces available around campus that use a meter and charge an hourly rate. You can park in any of those on the first day. We recommend purchasing a pass (Lot C) since it is more affordable.
