Parking on Campus
If arriving on campus between 7:30 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday, you may stop at one of the Visitor Parking and Information Booths, located at each main campus entrance, to receive a permit and parking instructions. On-campus parking is by permit only, except in metered and time-zone areas, Monday--Friday, 7:30 a.m.--5:00 p.m., throughout the year. In addition, parking in some areas is restricted during evening hours and/or seven days a week.
If you plan to attend any of the admissions information sessions offered on campus please stop first at one of the Information Booths and identify yourself as an admissions visitor. You will be given, at no charge, a permit and directions to allow you to park in the designated parking area on central campus. The Undergraduate Admissions Office at 410 Thurston Avenue also has a limited number of parking spaces available for admissions visitors. You must register your vehicle with the receptionist.
On weekends, some parking areas of campus are permit restricted between 7:30 am. and 10:00 pm. Student resident lots are restricted at all times. However, parking is available without charge in the parking garage and some other campus lots. Please read all posted sign carefully when parking. Parking may be limited during weekend events such as football games, Homecoming and New Student Orientation. *Whether you are visiting on the weekend or on a weekday, you should allow at least 30 minutes for parking before the start of the admissions conference you will be attending.*
If you require a handicap permit, you will need to stop at an Information Booth where you will be given a special Cornell permit to use in handicap spaces throughout campus.
We urge you to call the Undergraduate Admissions Office (607 255-5241) for information and assistance well in advance of your visit.
