PARKING at the HSC

As on other college campuses parking  is an issue at the HSC. The only parking that would be available to those who attend the Teaching Scholars Summer Institute will be in the “Mountaineer Station” which is very close to the HSC at a cost of $1.00 per hour as of today 09/22/09 . Space can be "reserved" for you by advising the Faculty Development Program (once you have registered, selected a hotel etc) by May 24, 2010. Hopefully the fee stays at $1.00 per hour.
Please take the parking fee and daily institute schedule into consideration as you select a hotel for the duration of the week. Also note that parking fines begin at $20.00 should you elect to park illegally!

If you have further questions please advise.
