Parking

We will provide you with a Parking Permit to print out and place on your dashboard for the duration of the event. This pass will allow you to park in any of the lots on campus for the event (i.e. any spaces that are open in the Elon Community Church lot, Oaks faculty, staff, visitor spaces, spaces along Lebanon, Innovation Quad or South Campus lots).

Avoid street parking, as this is monitored by the Town of Elon, seperate from the University.
