No parking permits are needed for the Lancaster campus! You can park next to the Cooper or Stoudt buildings in any available space. 

Our campus has a small self-service canteen located in the Stoudt building, accessed through the courtyard walkway. There are also microwaves and seating available in the former Commons Cafe area located in the Atrium near the Learning Center. 

• Read your syllabus for each class. The syllabus provides important instructions, due dates and helpful resources. Understanding the class set-up and policies will ensure that you are starting off on the right foot!  

• Get a planner, hang a calendar in your room, fill out a Google Calendar. Find what works for you, but get organized so you know when you have class, when assignments are due and when you have some free time for fun and activities!  Here is a weekly schedule and a semester calendar you can fill in to help you. 

Check email and Canvas daily.

• Tip: Download the apps so that you always have access on your phone!
