Travel and Parking Information
Parking
Even though it is spring break at Murray State during the conference, participants who park their cars on Murray State lots will need to submit their license plate numbers to Parking Services to avoid any trouble. If you have rented a vehicle, we suggest you register the license plate as soon as you arrive in your hotel or on campus. Parking is enforced via scanning of license plates, windshield tags are not issued any more.
