Gopher Way - Use this map to find the tunnels and skyways through campus.  This is especially helpful during the cold winter months!

624-WALK - Use this to request someone safely escort you to and from campus locations and to nearby neighborhoods.

Rave Guardian App - Use this app on your phone as another alternative to 624-WALK for a virtual escort for safe travels around, to, and from campus.  The app allows students to designate a friend or any other contact to be their "guardian" virtually while they're moving through campus.

Scooter Resources - This site includes information on safety requirements and shared scooter programs on campus.

On Campus Transit - The Twin Cities campus has both circulators around campus and connectors between campuses students can utilize.  Students can also use Gopher Trip to track campus buses and receive rider alerts. 

Universal Transit Pass - Students paying the student services fee are eligible for the UTP (using their UCard) which covers the cost of MetroTransit and most Regional Transit bus and light rail lines.  Students can visit this website for more information on the UTP and how to activate it.

Student Parking Contracts - Students can choose to sign up for a parking contract for unlimited parking on campus.  These must be renewed each semester.  

Part-Time Parking Contracts - For students who do not need to be on campus every day, a part-time parking contract can be a potentially more cost-efficient option to review.
