Parking on Campus
Toggle More InfoIf you are registered to attend one of our career fairs, a parking pass along with instructions on where to park (mostly likely Parking Garage 1) will be sent to you in advance. Please print out the parking pass that is sent to you and place it on the dashboard of your car to avoid receiving a ticket.
If you are visiting campus for another purpose (such as Recruitment Wednesday) then you will need to stop and get a parking pass from the information booth at the campus main entrance (FGCU Boulevard). The attendant will be able to give you a campus map and directions to the best parking lot for your destination. -
