Where do I purchase a parking pass and how much will it cost?
You can purchase a parking decal at the Bursar's
office, located in the Student Services building. For
information regarding cost, please see the Public
Safety website. The Parking Office will not ticket cars
parked properly in the parking lots during the first week of classes, so don't worry about not having a
decal on the first day.

of the shelf. The shelf is 12 inches deep and it is located 24 1/4 inches from the ceiling. Their is a
triangular shelf support in the middle of the shelf (underneath it) that would be in the way of anything

reasons, sharing your lock combination with others is strictly prohibited.

Recycling is mandatory in Wisconsin. University housing facilities have designated recycling areas located
