Safety Practices

It is important to be aware that the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University have a limited number of parking spaces available on campus. Unfortunately, it’s rarely a matter of simply finding the empty spot closest to your destination. For that reason, parking is fairly structured, organized and regulated on both campuses, in order to manage demand. Together though, with Benedictine hospitality and grace, we can all find our way and park in peace.
