I have a bus coming. When buses arrive for pick up/ drop off, where should it go?
The preferred location for busses to park to pick up and drop off is along the grass across from Pigott. The way for buses to do this is to have the bus driver(s) pull forward past the booth and then back into the parking lot. Buses should NOT be driving through the parking lot. This is to avoid potential accidents from occurring. If the bus driver is having trouble getting into the loading area, inform the booth attendant and they can have someone assist you. Back to top

I need to drive on to campus. Can I do this?
If it is a personal vehicle, normally not, however there are exceptions. If this is the case than the vehicle needs to have an SU affiliate escort the vehicle on and off the campus. If they do need to enter in through Marion they also need an SU affiliate to escort them on and off. Large deliveries should not be coming on to campus between 8am to 5pm. All vehicles should go no faster than 5 miles an hour. Back to top
