The Evening & Weekend Program offers various types of transportation assistance. Each EWMBA student is provided one transportation option per semester and is required to keep this preference up to date via the Student Directory.
If students have a need for both a shuttle and parking permit option in the same semester, the requests are reviewed by the Program Office at the beginning of the semester. Students approved to use both options will need to pay $50 to help cover the cost of both transportation options.
The following options are available to Evening students:
- South Bay Shuttle
- Peninsula Shuttle
- Campus Parking Permit
If your primary transportation preference for the semester is the Evening shuttle, please note that alternative transportation arrangements should be made for courses outside your normal schedule (e.g. Sunday 1 unit courses).
We will provide you with a parking permit that is good for evenings and weekends at Haas.
Please note that special events on weekends may impact parking options. Please allow adequate time to find parking and walk to class.
Full-time MBA/Non-Haas classes
The Night/Weekend permit provided by the Evening & Weekend MBA Program is valid starting at 3:30PM on weekdays in “S” Lots (e.g. Underhill and Foothill). Students taking Full-time MBA or Non-Haas classes before 3:30PM are responsible for their own parking arrangements.
