Important Things to Know When You
Get-on-the-Bus
Departure
Trips depart from the parking deck at the northeast corner of Locust Street and Normal Road on campus.
Please arrive 10-15 minutes before departure so we can leave on time. Drivers aren't able to wait for late individuals. Depending on the destination and travel time, bus rides are sometimes long, so feel free to bring snacks, reading material or music with headphones. You can leave these items on the bus during tours and visits - the bus is always locked.
Parking
Parking on campus is now administered through AIMS mobile pay or parking pay stations available in the Visitor Pay Lot at 200 Carroll Avenue just west of the parking deck. Campus parking is free on the weekends and after 5 p.m. on weeknights.
Meals and incidentals
Participants are responsible for personal meal costs and additional incidental expenses unless otherwise noted. Guided tours and group admission are included when noted in the event description; otherwise, entry to destinations are on your own.
Weather
Trips are rain or shine unless severe, inclement weather conditions require cancellation. Dress for the weather and wear comfortable clothing and shoes since long periods of walking and standing may be involved.
