ANNOUNCEMENTS

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR CAR IN THE WTS PARKING LOT WHEN YOU ARE NOT HERE!  The WTS parking lot is intended as parking for those who live here and for people taking classes or visiting our campus….NOT as a storage space when students / employees are away on vacation, on an immersion, or for some reason need a place to keep their vehicle.  Occasionally there have been times when permission has been granted for cars to be left here for brief periods of time when the lot was lightly used.  In those situations, people were asked to park in a specific area, to leave emergency contact information as well as a spare key should the vehicle need to be moved.  For more information, please contact the WTS front desk:  dwogaman@wesleyseminary.edu / 202-885-8600.  Thank you.

ATTENTION SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS!  Many summer courses have pre-course reading and/or assignments to complete BEFORE you arrive the first day of class.  Please check on Blackboard and on the Summer Term webpage under “courses” to find this information.  Go to http://www.wesleyseminary.edu/en-us/degrees/summerterm.aspx  click “courses” and then look in the drop-down boxes to find your course.   Questions should be addressed to the Summer School office:  202-885-8688.

The sessions are experiential and will include:

ONGOING / DID YOU KNOW…

PARKING AT WESLEY: Due to construction work on the new dorm the exit driveway is closed, the entrance driveway is two-way, and parking is very limited.  Please observe all parking instructions in the campus lot including the following notices:

  • Left turns out of the main driveway onto Massachusetts Avenue are prohibited.  Numerous people have been observed turning left and this must stop!
  • No parking is allowed along the library sidewalk or in the first two compact car spaces next to the parking lot island.  These spaces now have yellow curbs.  Violations along any yellow curb will result in an immediate $100 non-refundable ticket.  Other parking restrictions will be marked by cones.  Please avoid these spaces as well.  With wide construction vehicles entering and exiting our campus, these spaces are blocked for the safety of your car.
  • Please remember that additional parking has been secured at American University’s Katzen Arts Center’s parking garage, Level P3, free of charge for cars with a valid WTS parking permit.  The entrance to the garage is directly across from the Massachusetts Avenue entrance to American University.
  • Finally, everyone MUST have a valid Wesley parking permit from the Business Office (guests need to have valid temporary permits from the Front Desk) to use our parking lot or the additional parking in American University’s Katzen Arts Center’s parking garage, Level P3.  Vehicles not displaying a valid Wesley parking permit will be ticketed and possibly towed.
