Parking Reminders for Finals Week
In support of students studying for finals, zone commuter parking permits are valid during the UCI Libraries extended hours. Please note that zone designations are still enforced from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. As you make your way to campus during finals week, please plan to arrive early so that you may reach your destination on time. Good luck on finals!
14th Annual Clash of the Cans
Help combat hunger in our community by donating during UCI's 14th annual Clash of the Cans food drive. Get involved by making a monetary donation to the OC Food Bank to provide meals to Orange County families in need or by donating nonperishable goods at any of the donation bin locations on campus that will benefit UCI's Basic Needs Center. Let's show our Anteater pride and help our community in the fight against hunger!
Reduced Passport Processing Times
As of the start of November, the US Department of States passport processing times are 7-10 weeks for routine services and 3-5 weeks for expedited services. Take advantage of these reduced processing times by scheduling your appointment with the UCI Passport office. Appointments are available Monday - Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Parking Permit Purchasing Options
As a reminder, a valid parking permit is required at all times when parking on campus. Permits may be purchased by using ParkbyPlate in designated areas, or by utilizing a permit dispenser or visiting one of our staffed information kiosks for cash purchases. Affiliates may also log into myCommute to purchase their permit.
If your preferred purchasing method is unavailable, please utilize another option. For questions regarding event-based parking needs, contact our event coordinator at 949-824-2690.
College of Health Sciences Construction Impacts
Due to the construction of the Falling Leaves Foundation Medical Innovation Building, several parking areas and a portion of Health Sciences Road will be closed through the completion of the project. Beckman Laser Institute, Gillespie Neuroscience Research Facility, and Gross Hall will remain accessible via West Peltason Drive. View a map of the roadway access here.
Bicycle Light Giveaway
With the end of daylight savings time, more Anteaters will be biking at night. Ensure that you have equipped your bike or scooter with a required white front light and that your bike has reflectors on the wheels, pedals, and seat post. To encourage riding safely in low light conditions, we are conducting our annual bike light giveaway while supplies last. Simply submit the Be Visible Survey and pick up your lights at our Transportation Office!
