TA - COT Early Release Plan
On days like today, when TA has an Early Release and COT does not, impacted students should refer to the email received earlier in the week for detailed information.
Students in an AM program will arrive at BRCOT at the usual time and will be picked up at 10am to return to TA. Students will be a few minutes late to block 3 at TA, and teachers will be aware that the tardy is due to bus transportation.
Students in the PM program may get the bus as usual from TA at 12:10 and it will pick up from BRCOT at 2:25 to return to TA. Students who needed transportation home after COT were able to request it and those arrangements have been made and communicated.
School IDs
Please note that replicating, copying, or tampering with your school-issued ID is strictly prohibited. Do not allow anyone else to use your ID. Students who are found violating this will face disciplinary consequences listed under Serious Behavior Violations.
Parking Passes for Juniors and Seniors
Parking passes must be visibly displayed while parked in the designated student lots located near Linnell Gymnasium and the Scamman Science Building. Parking around the retainer pond by the stadium includes nose-in parking and parallel parking requirements.
Any parking in undesignated areas or on grass is subject to towing, aiming to maintain order and safety within the campus parking facilities.
