Parking Tips for Fall Semester
College of DuPage Public Safety offers several tips for parking on campus during the fall semester:Consider Public Transportation: The Glen Ellyn campus is served by two Pace bus routes:
- Arrive early, especially at the start of the term. The parking lots are congested during the first weeks of classes -- think the shopping mall just before Christmas.
- Student parking on campus is free and no permits are needed. However, some areas are restricted (handicapped, visitor, service), so please observe the posted signs.
- Parking lots are located both north (accessible from Fawell Boulevard) and south (accessible from College Road) of the Glen Ellyn campus. Parking is also available on the west side of Lambert Road, which is usually less congested.
- Remember to allow at least 10 to 15 minutes to get from your car to your classroom. Don't let parking make you late for class.
- If you are not familiar with the Glen Ellyn campus, be sure to note where you parked and which door you entered. Each entrance has a building designator and number above the doors.
- Visiting campus to buy your books before your classes begin will allow you to tour the buildings and find each of your classrooms. This will make your first day simpler.
- To make parking easier for everyone, car pool if possible.
Pace passes are available for sale in the Student Activities office, located in the Student Resource Center (SRC), Room 1800, including the Campus Connection pass that gives unlimited rides between August and December for $150.
- The C.O.D. Connector (#714) travels north and south between the Wheaton Metra Station, and Edward Hospital and the Naperville Fifth Avenue Metra Station. [More on the Route 714 schedule.]
- Route #715 serves Addison, Glen Ellyn, Westmont and Darien, as well as a major transfer point for several other routes near the Yorktown Center mall. [More on the Route 715 schedule.]
