Commuting & Parking

School of Social Work Students

Parking close to the School of Social Work is quite limited. Students commuting to campus should give themselves extra time to make their commute. The most economical way to commute to campus is to utilize the free park & ride lots and take a short bus ride onto campus. Students who live close to a U-M or AAATA bus route can also ride the bus onto campus for free. The University also offers some after hours permits to closer University lots which can be convenient for students commuting to campus later in the day.
