Disability Parking
Limited disability parking is available in the Galvez Lot and Track House Lot. Individuals with state-issued disability parking placards (from any state) can park in any marked space on campus (no additional permit and/or payment is needed). This includes:
- Designated blue disabled-access spaces
- Commuter (‘A’, ‘C’, ‘Z’, etc.) and residential permit spaces (‘ES’, ‘EA’, etc.)
- Visitor pay parking spaces
- Service vehicle spaces
Shuttles and Golf Carts
Marguerite shuttles are wheelchair accessible. All Marguerite shuttles are free and open to the public – no ID required. A special Family Weekend Marguerite runs in a continuous loop of campus on Friday and Saturday during the event.
A limited golf cart service is available for Family Weekend guests with limited mobility on a first come, first served basis and has limited capacity. Please note that there may be a wait time for golf cart rides. Sometimes, it may be beneficial to park closer to the venue where activities occur. For safety reasons, personal golf carts are not allowed to be brought onto the campus during Family Weekend.
Service and Support Animals
Please note that the university restricts pets and emotional support animals from public spaces on campus, with the exception of service animals that are specifically trained to perform a service and/or task for an individual with a disability.
Restricted areas include dining areas, athletic venues, performances spaces, etc.
