| Parking Information |
Parking
is very limited in downtown Charleston. We recommend that visitors
to the campus use the city parking garages located at on St. Philips St. (off Calhoun Street) , on St. Phillips between George and Liberty or the Wentworth Street garage at the corner of Wentworth
and St. Philip street (enter from Wentworth street side). The
cost is betweeb $10.00-$16.00 per day, but you may also pay by the hour. Hourly
parking meters are available around the campus but limited. We
are unable to validate parking during Orientation -early arrival
is suggested. Please do not park in faculty/staff parking to avoid
a parking ticket or towing.
Contact
the Parking
Services office for more details regarding on and off
campus parking options during the academic year.
