Tips for the first week of class

Dining

• Download the Transact Mobile Ordering app to order food and drinks to go.
• Check the Dine on Campus website or app to check dining menus and hours.
• Do you have allergies or unique dietary needs? Both dining halls have a “Delicious Without” station free of the top nine allergens.
• Check for these symbols in dining halls to find food that’s vegan, vegetarian or high protein.

Parking

• Check our parking maps to find parking based on your student/permit type.
• Parking decks near the center of campus can fill up fast. Use parkingavailability.charlotte.edu to check if decks are full before you drive to campus. Try parking in decks like North Deck or South Village Deck that are less crowded the first week of classes.
• If the license plate reader at a parking deck gate doesn’t work, you can scan your 49er ID at the gate as a backup.

Transportation

• Download the Passio GO! app to track Niner Transit buses and Paratransit vehicles on campus.
• Download the CATS Pass app and login with your @charlotte.edu email to ride the city light rail, buses and airport shuttles fare-free.
