All visitors coming to campus for the purpose of taking a test at Testing Services must get a Visitor parking hangtag from one of the visitor booths (John Peace Boulevard on the north side of campus and Edward Ximenes on the south side) prior to parking on campus. Go to the visitor booth and tell the staff person that you are on campus for testing. You will be required to show your testing paperwork. The Visitor Booths are open Monday – Thursday from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm, and 7:30 am to 4:30 pm Fridays. You may park in the General Student spaces (unmarked spaces) on weekends.

You may not utilize this process if you are a current student. If you have not yet registered for classes you may utilize this process.
