  • The Mid-Rise Lot, Dyson Lot and Fontaine Lot are reserved for vehicles with handicapped license plates, handicapped parking placards issued by a municipality or special parking permits issued by the College Registrar. GUESTS WITH HANDICAPPED PERMITS SHOULD ENTER AT THE MAIN OR NORTH ENTRANCES ONLY. There is no access to handicapped parking from the South Entrance.

Sincerely,

John T. Gildard
