Update: After 1:00 pm Parking Rules in Effect — Campus Reopens thursday 1/29
Campus will reopen Thursday, 1/29, and we’ll start the day with "After 1:00 PM" parking rules in effect due to lingering icy conditions. Under these temporary rules:
-
Student commuters may park in any zone, so you’re not obligated to return to your assigned zone if it’s covered in ice.
- This is different from our usual After 5:00 PM rules, which also allow parking in faculty/staff lots.
Important reminders:
- Resident permit holders must return to assigned zones by 7:00 AM Thursday, 1/29.
-
A valid UTA parking permit is still required to park anywhere on campus.
-
Be cautious when walking or driving on campus — icy conditions may still exist in shaded areas.
As campus prepares for possible inclement weather this weekend, here are some important updates to keep in mind:
