	Antonian Hall will be on your left. Directly across the street from the glass entry doors of Antonian, you will find our admissions parking spaces by the right curb. The curb is painted red for these spaces. If you received a parking permit via mail, display it on your dashboard; if you need a parking permit, come into the Admissions Office to obtain one.
	The Admissions Office is to your right as you enter through the double set of doors on the 3rd floor (the entry-level floor) of Antonian Hall.
	If there are no admissions spaces available outside Antonian, you may proceed up the drive and park in any space not marked as convent or handicapped parking (unless, of course, that applies to you). If you need a permit, please obtain one from the Admissions Office before proceeding up the drive, so you'll save yourself the walk back to your vehicle to display the permit
