Where do I get a parking permit?

You will receive a parking permit in the mail. Your one-day parking pass is valid in spaces painted with yellow squares with a black "S" on the ground or spaces painted with green squares with a black "B" on the ground. You must circle the appropriate date on your pass and display on the driver-side dash.

Should you arrive without your parking permit, please use the coin operated meters located on the top floor. You can also purchase a permit at the North Visitor Information Center, just east of North Torrey Pines Road. http://maps.ucsd.edu/

*Parking regulations are strictly enforced on campus. ERC is not responsible for any parking citations issued to you.*

You can appeal your parking citation by visiting http://www,parking.ucsd.edu

Can my family members or friends come to Orientation? Will I be the only one there without parents?

Unfortunately, our Transfer Orientation program is for incoming ERC transfer students only. We encourage you to share the information you learned at Orientation with your family members once you return home. Also, every family can access ERC's Family Guide online at http://roosevelt.ucsd.edu/family. We recommend that you invite them to Family Weekend, October 22-24, 2010, http://www.ucsd.edu/parents-families/.
