There is no parking in front of Wells Hall. Please park in the lot designated in the material you received from the Orientation Office and walk to Wells Hall. Please park only in areas designated for orientation. Parking in other areas can result in a parking violation or towing. Unfortunately, the Academic Orientation Program cannot accept responsibility for parking tickets and/or towing fees. If you need assistance with parking, please ask during check-in.
If you park at metered spaces around campus, you are responsible for the cost of the meter. Please bring change if you wish to park at metered spaces. The Orientation Office does not recommend metered parking, as students may not leave the program to “feed” the meter. The Academic Orientation Program cannot accept responsibility for parking tickets and/or towing fees.
Accessible parking and entrances are available at Wells Hall. These spaces are available on a first come, first served basis. Please note: We cannot reserve these spaces for students or parents for a particular date.
Moving Into the Residence Halls
Freshmen are not permitted to have cars on campus. However, during the Orientation Program you can park in the appropriate student parking lot near your residence hall. Ask the residence hall reception desk staff about the location of that parking lot. Park at the meters in the front of the residence halls to UNLOAD ONLY. After unloading, you must park in the appropriate lot near your residence hall so you will not be ticketed.
Students and parents are responsible for their accommodations while at Michigan State. Please refer to the list of local hotels (http://www.ctlr.msu.edu/travel/msu_hotel.htm)
