Traffic Advisory – Transfer Orientation (May 12)
The University of South Florida will host Transfer Student Orientation on Thursday, May 12, on its Tampa campus.
Students will arrive between 7 and 9 a.m. and park in the Laurel Parking Facility located on Laurel Drive at Holly Drive, near the USF Health Morsani Center. Students will then travel via BullRunner transit, Route E, to the Marshall Student Center for the Orientation session. Attendance is projected at 700 people.
Parking and Transportation Services will implement a special traffic pattern for this event. Orientation traffic will be routed to the northeast entry (indicated by the red marker) and then up to the 3rd floor of the facility. The entry off Laurel Drive will be used for Patient parking and Gold Zone permit holders.
Higher than normal traffic volumes are expected in the Laurel parking area, and drivers should expect some stopped vehicles as Orientation staff answer questions and facilitate parking. This may be an area to avoid, if possible, or allow extra time to reach your destination.
In addition, drivers are asked to be mindful of increased pedestrian traffic on Holly Drive between Laurel Drive and Cedar Circle throughout the entire day.
Please contact the Office of Orientation at (813) 974-3060 or myorientation@usf.edu with any questions.
