Students! There are parking spots in the front of the student parking lot that have signs that say "Reserved for Silent Auction Winner" Those parking spots are reserved and you CANNOT park there unless you have a special permit. Even if you see the space isn't being used, you cannot park there because the student assigned to the parking spot may have FLEX and will use the spot throughout the day. Again, do not park in the Reserved for Silent Auction Winner spots, there are still spots available in the Stadium parking lot and you may park there.
