The SPCS parking permit allows the vehicle to be parked in lots C61 and C66 off College Road, the G Permit sections lot U6 off of UR Drive, and lot W87, Modlin Center parking lot off Westhampton Way. Faculty and staff lots are available to SPCS student vehicles after 5pm Monday through Friday.

    Use BannerWeb to make, complete or confirm tuition payment and review the final class location. Some class location changes may occur without notice up to the first day of class.
