Parking
Evening classes
Please park in the spots marked with CSU in front of the CSU entrance on Tuesday, September 1st. We will issue parking passes to you that evening. There may be other classes operating that evening, but parking should not be a problem for evening classes.
Afternoon classes
On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, you will likely have to park in the CSU designated area at the ABB parking lot. We will provide directions and maps on Tuesday, September 1st. During your supper break (4-6 pm) you can move your cars over to the parking spaces in front of the CSU entrance so that you don’t have to walk back to the ABB parking lot in the dark.
Storage
There are lockers available on a first come first serve basis, although they will likely be taken up by other Faculty of Education students who start their program the week of August 24-28. Since we will be relatively self-contained in the Murrumbidgee and Wagga Wagga rooms, we will have enough space to store coats, backpacks, laptops, etc. in these two areas.
Lunch/Supper arrangements
There is no cafeteria on campus, so we suggest that those attending afternoon and evening classes bring supper with them. There are refrigerators, microwaves, and kettles available for your use in the Gumly Gumly and Dubbo rooms. There are also vending machines on campus and a number of places nearby to pick up a bite to eat (Goodness Me, Organic Flours, Tim Horton’s, Wendy’s, Subway).
We look forward to welcoming all of you on Tuesday, September 1st, 6-9 pm
