Directions to campus and University Hall, and parking information:
By car: use Google Maps to navigate to 1 Normal Avenue, Montclair, NJ. Parking is available at the Red Hawk Deck, a large white parking garage on-campus. (Parking in other lots will get you a hefty ticket—they are patrolled on Saturdays!) To enter the campus turn north from Normal Avenue at the Montclair State University sign (not the sign on the corner of Valley Road and Normal Ave), follow the road around a left curve to enter the parking Deck on your right. Make sure to bring the parking ticket with you, so we can exchange it with a free pass at registration.

By mass transit: Currently, there is no train service on the weekend to MSU. The best option for New York residents is to take the DeCamp bus #66 ("NYC to West Orange") from NYC Port Authority. The bus will leave from gate 412 (fourth floor of Port Authority). The 8:30am bus will arrive near MSU at approximately 9am (you ought to arrive at the Port Authority gate 10-15 minutes early). You cannot give the bus driver cash; you will need to buy a ticket on the ground floor of Port Authority, at ticket windows #24 - 28; the windows say "Academy and DeCamp." The one way tickets are $6.50. (On the return trip, you can give the driver cash.) Once on the bus, ask to be dropped off at the Mt. Hebron @ Valley Road stop (perhaps you should tell the driver you are going to MSU). You will need to walk about 5 minutes northwards back along the route of the bus from that stop to get to MSU.

Getting to University Hall from the Red Hawk Deck: You need to exit the opposite (north) side of the structure using the footbridge on the 5th level, and proceed northwards between the soccer pitch and Dickson Hall on your right. (Signs directing you to the "Conference Center" will be posted.) Once you enter University Hall, proceed down the hall to the main hall, and use the stairs or elevators to the 2nd floor. The registration room (UH 2004) will be right in front of you, and the other conference rooms are in that same hallway.
