Bicycles must be properly secured to the rack with sturdy chains or locks. Overnight storage of bicycles is discouraged.
A bike repair station is located at the bicycle racks by the Library Cafe.

Students who wish to enter or remain on campus after it is closed must obtain written permission from the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs or have a 24-hour photo ID card.
