Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é

The control gates will help manage the flow of traffic allowing only vehicles with orange and red inner-campus parking permits to pass through the gates from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays.

Many visitors to campus will have temporary event passes, VIP passes, or media passes, and they will access campus through the lanes marked for visitors at the Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é Avenue entrances.

For those who do not have a temporary pass, Community Service Guards located at the east and west entrances of Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é Avenue will instruct visitors to the nearest visitor parking.

Pedestrian Drop-Off Locations
CLICK HERE TO OPEN DROP OFF ZONES MAP

UTEP has designated drop off/pick-up locations for students or visitors who do not have their own vehicle but may be picked up or dropped off by someone else. These are notated on the UTEP campus map with a Green circle with a person inside of it.

OR2 (Oregon 2) and RA2 (Randolph 2) Areas near Memorial Gym and Miner Village Housing
Students who typically enter campus from the east end of Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é Avenue and Mesa Avenue should use the GR5 and OR2 lots on Oregon Street near the Don Haskins Center and Glory Road Terminal as their drop-off point. Students can then get on the Miner Metro Shuttle.

SB 2 (Sunbowl 2) across from Kelly Hall and Health Sciences Building (elevator access to pedestrian bridge)
On the west end of Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é Avenue near the UTEP bookstore, students can be dropped off at the Sunbowl 2 (SB2)
(Note: No drop offs at Sunbowl 3 or Mining Minds Pick Roundabout due to traffic safety concerns!)

DA1 (Dawson 1) next to the Sunbowl Stadium and Sunbowl Parking Garage
For those wanting to access central campus such as the Fox Fine Arts complex, Seamons Hall through the Pscyhology building and Centennial Plaza, we recommend using the drop-off location at DA 1 - Dawson 1. This is also an alternative route for those being dropped off for the Education building or Liberal Arts that do not want to use the location at Oregon 2 or Randolph 2.

SC1 - Schuster 1 Area across from Schuster Garage, College of Business, Mike Loya Academic Services Building
There are two drop-off locations for students on the south end of campus near the Mike Loya Academic Services Building off Schuster Avenue. Those drop-off lots are Schuster 1 (SC1). Individuals looking to access the College of Business, Engineering complex, and UTEP Library may be well served by this drop-off location.

NOTE: Students should avoid being dropped off curbside near any of the entrances to campus. Instead, students are asked to use the designated drop-off locations.
