The Priory is a residence hall located a few miles off campus and given it's proximity we want to ensure all students have the opportunity to live there with means to get to campus. Parking permits are required to park at The Priory with the Priory shuttle transporting faculty, staff or students daily and at regular intervals. 

Simply show your Blugold ID and ride the shuttle for free during the academic year (fall and spring semesters).
