Parking & Meals

Parking and Transportation
Parking permits are required to park in any
UA lot or garage. Parking permits are sold through the office of UA Parking
and Transportation only. It is common to have a waiting list for parking
permits each year. Apply early or you may not get a parking permit. Check out the campus map of all parking lots and garages [PDF].
Residence Life does not control any parking lots or parking assignments.
Your parking permit is not based on your hall assignment. Many freshmen do
not bring a car to campus and prefer to ride their bicycles around campus.
There is also a free CatTran
Shuttle available to most campus buildings and you can ride the Sun
Tran city bus to get around town. Contact Parking
and Transportation for more information and permits or call 520-626-7275.
The Parking and Transportation office is located at 1117 E. 5th Street.
ASUA Safe Ride. located in the Student Union Memorial Center, provides a free service for students who are traveling on campus at night. They also provide workshops on campus safety. For more information review the website or call 520-621-7233.
Dining and Meal Plans
Since meals and dining are not included in your housing,
there are various options. A small refrigerator for snacks or beverages is
provided in each student room and you may bring a microwave. Some students
occasionally enjoy preparing food in their hall’s community kitchen
(halls with stoves varies). Pots and pans may be checked out at the front
desk. You may also see students barbecuing on the courtyard grills outside
their halls.
There are more than 25 eateries available at the Student Union Memorial
Center, Park Student Union, Highland Market and other campus locations to
meet all your dining needs. Food selections include: pizza, wraps, soups,
salads, burgers, omelets, fresh fruits and much more. Two UA markets also
include a variety of organic food items. Healthy food and vegetarian options
are available all over campus. Students may grab fast food or sit down to
a hot buffet style meal. Choose a meal plan which best suits your needs and
price range. Your meal plan will determine the amount of money placed on
your CatCard account to purchase meals. For complete dining and meal
plan information check out “where to eat on campus” or call 520-621-7043. They are
located at the Student Union Memorial Center, 1st Floor.
