Parking

Parking can be challenging from September to May due to heavy student traffic. We advise that you plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled exam time to find parking and walk to Boone Hall. We do not advise using parking meters, as they are limited to 2 hours. Test-takers will not be permitted to leave the testing area to address meter-related issues The City parking meters are monitored regularly and tickets will be issued for lapse meters.
