We recommend getting your UCard on your first day. The UCard office website will answer all your questions about how to get your UCard. For your first UCard you must go to Coffman Union on the East Bank. Be sure to bring an accepted form of ID and have your ID number or email address ready.
Contract Parking can be arranged through transportation services. There are waiting lists for some of the parking ramps/lots, so you will want to call about this as soon as possible. Questions? Call (612) 626 – 7275, or email at parking@umn.edu.
