Parking Lot A and Wake Forest Rd. in front of the Chapel have routine openings on a daily basis.

Parking Lot J, located behind Collins and South Residence Halls, is available for faculty, staff and general parking. This lot is the least utilized on campus and should provide parking on this day as well.

Shuttle service will be available on Sept. 5 to assist any faculty and staff who opt to park in a University lot off Long Drive, across from Winston-Salem First Church. A shuttle will run from that lot to the southern area of campus from 7 to 9 a.m. and again from 4 to 6 p.m.
