Parking
We have created a Parking Permit for this event that can be printed out and put on your dashboard for the day. Campus police recognizes these as allowing you to park in any of the lots on campus for the event (i.e. any spaces that are open in the Elon Community Church lot, Oaks faculty, staff, visitor spaces, spaces along Lebanon, Innovation Quad or South Campus lots). Avoid on street parking. You may also park in South Campus or Innovation Quad lots and reserve a shuttle through automotive services.
