The Pay-To-Park garages on campus are open year-round and require payments anytime they are used during the year. Due to this, weekends and holidays have not been removed from the numbers used for the following calculations because even during holidays and weekends individuals would have to pay to park in these garages.
In-between semesters regular campus parking lots don't require permits, and with the purchase of any permit individuals may park in any non-rserved space on campus during weekends and between 5pm and 7am during the week.
There are 259 days between the start of classes (August 26th in 2024) and the last day an individual would be allowed to move out of a dorm (May 11th in 2025). 259 days was used for the following pricing equations.
