the chapel. The Main Chapel has ramped access through
north side entrance. Accessible rest rooms are available via the north side entrance.
Wedding Parking: If you hold your reception on campus,
your guests' vehicles must be driven to the reception
location in order to ensure Chapel-area parking for the
next wedding or event. Wedding parties/guests may not park in
Lots A, B, D or W, areas for the disabled, fire lanes,
service or courier parking spaces. Parking in any of these areas may result in a parking ticket.
You are responsible
to so notify
your wedding party and guests.

lot at the barrier (which rises automatically as you approach it)

the first right into Lot L or continue in Lot L to the first right

What if your wedding is on a "game day?"
While athletic schedules are made months in advance, the actual
game time often isn't scheduled until a few weeks before the event; start
times are often determined by the television network carrying the game.
Couples will be notified of football and basketball home games as soon as
the schedules are set. We recommend that guests are sent the following
alternate directions and parking information to help them avoid game traffic
delays.
