Miscellaneous

Where Can I Park When I’m On Campus?
The DEL Program arranges  student transportation to and from campus each day (from a designated group hotel).  Parking on campus is extremely limited, so we strongly encourage you to take advantage of the shuttle.  We cannot arrange parking spaces and we will not be responsible for any parking tickets you may receive while parking on campus.  For short-term parking, there are metered spaces throughout campus, and a parking garage next to the Bryan University Center on Science Drive. Parking permits cannot be provided to students by the DEL Office for those who choose to drive their personal cars to campus. For further information or assistance, please contact Duke Parking and Transportation Offices at 919-684-PARK (7275).
