Consistent with past practice, IUP will not restrict access to the Wayne Avenue, Stadium South, and Stadium North Parking Lots during the Independence Day celebration on Saturday, July 4, 2026. 

Parking access will be restricted to the Kovalchick Complex VIP Parking Lot (located in front of the facility) and South Campus parking lots (located near the softball and baseball fields). 

University Drive on South Campus will be temporarily closed to through traffic from 12:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. on July 4.   

Due to the holiday, no IUP facilities will be open or accessible.  Lot usage is for parking only; no grilling, tents, or long-term gatherings are permitted. 

Please be reminded that regulations for all reserved spaces—including disability accessible spaces, visitor reserved, admissions reserved, 15 or 30-minute loading and unloading zones, fire lanes, and tow-away zones—will remain strictly enforced during this period. Vehicles in violation may be ticketed and/or towed at the vehicle owner’s expense.
