    You will need a parking permit to park on campus. Please let Genie Feran (physadmn@uci.edu) know that you will be driving, and she will reserve a parking permit for you. To pick up your permit, take the reservation that Genie emails to you to the white kiosk/information booth at the Anteater Parking Garage on East Peltason Drive. The Anteater Parking Structure is at the intersection of East Peltason Dr. and Anteater Dr. It is Star #5 on this map.

    After obtaining your parking permit, turn right on to East Peltason. You will go through a pedestrian crossing (with traffic lights), and one intersection with a STOP sign. The first right after the intersection with the STOP sign is South Circle View Road. Turn right. This is Lot 12B where you can park.
