Parking: For cars the parking is at the
Parking Deck on
Walker Ave. (See UNCG campus map.) which costs
1.00 dollar per hour or 6.00 dollars per day. If you park in any of the campus
parking lots or on the street you may get
towed. For those coming by bus or other large transport
(anything taller than 7'4"), you will probably need to
park in the UNCG park and ride near the Coliseum. This will depend
largely on the number of buses. Under
no circumstances will the buses be allowed to park in the parking deck
- you may get stuck and damage your
bus. The UNCG shuttles run every 15 minutes starting at 7:00 AM.
