Starting September 1st, 2017 overnight ST parking will be restricted in the White Lot, west of Memorial Stadium.
This restriction will be isolated to the south half of the White Lot, all rows south of the 19th Street entrance of North Dunn Street at Gate 8. This will include the curb-side parking in the drive south of the White Lot near Gate 7. The area will be signed as 'No Overnight Parking'.

Claim your bike!
If your bike is missing, please check with IUB Parking Enforcement at 812-855-9849 to see if it was impounded. If so, the dispatcher will explain how you may recover your bike.
A reminder to all who have bikes on campus: Bikes must be registered and display a Bike permit while 'parked' at a bike rack or in a bike locker. IUB Bike permits cost $10.00 and are valid as long as you own the bike and it remains in operable condition while on the IUB campus.
