Residential and commuter students with mobility problems can apply for “closer” parking to classes and residential building.  If approved, you will be allowed to park in any employee,  student (commuter or residential), or visitor parking lot.  However this does NOT give you permission to park in a handicapped parking space (see Handicapped Parking section below),  Service Vehicle space,  sidewalk/walkway, or roadway.  You will be ticketed for parking in these areas.
