DEAN’S LOT PARKING POLICIES

The small parking lot at the front of the Scott Hall entrance is designated as the dean’s parking area and is intended only for the dean and vice deans of the School of Medicine and their guests. The School of Medicine has more than 2,000 full-time, part-time and voluntary faculty; 1,600 medical and graduate students; and 24 different departments.
