Parking can be very crowded. Arrive early enough to find a parking space and allow time to get to class before it starts. Although many lots are full during the first few weeks of school, there are open spaces usually available in the B2 and B3 parking lots. Parking permits may be purchased at the Bookstore.

Avoid long lines at the Bookstore. Buy your books a week before the term begins. Remember to bring a copy of your class schedule. It will help us serve you more quickly in finding the right book for your classes.


Bookstore hours are:

Monday through Thursday	7:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
(extended until 8:30 p.m. for the 1st week of term)
Friday	7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Saturday (August 6 & 13)	10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Print out a schedule at home before coming to class. Having a printed schedule makes it easier to find your class and it helps you to remember what time the class begins. If you do not have access to a computer, you can print your Class Schedule in the e-Services Lab located in Goleman 128 or the Cunningham Lab located in Cunningham 220.

Visit the campus the week before the semester begins with your class schedule and locate each of your classrooms.  This makes it a lot easier to find your way around on the first day when there is a lot of student traffic on campus.

Lockers are available at various locations on campus. Bring your own lock, place it on your locker, and then register your locker with the Student Activities Office located in Shima 101C. Note the center name (Holt, Shima) and the locker number.

We value you! And, we want you to be successful in meeting your academic and career goals. We will treat you with kindness and respect and ask that you also behave in a kind and respectful manner.

• Never leave belongings in your vehicle in plain view.
