Directions and Parking

Parking for August Welcome Week participants

Please consult and utilize the move-in parking information provided by the Office of Parking and Transportation. Parking is only allowed in front of the residence halls while unloading your vehicle. Move-in traffic is heavy, so be prepared to wait patiently for an available spot in front of the building. After items are unloaded, vehicles must be moved immediately. Maps with available parking lots will be available from the move-in staff. All vehicles without parking permits must be removed from ISU parking lots by midnight on your move-in day.
