Participants learn life-saving skills in a blended-learning format and complete online modules covering important skills and techniques, and general first aid information.

All online modules must be completed prior to the in-class session date. The in-class session reviews the skills learned through the online modules. Participants will practice CPR and AED skills on manikins and practice first aid skills on fellow participants.

Parking

All guests/visitors and Campus Rec members are required to have the appropriate parking permit displayed in their cars when parking in university parking lots. Community members must purchase a contractual permit (C). Guests must obtain a visitor parking permit. These permits can be purchased at the McDowell Administration Building.

Campus Recreation is not responsible for citations issued due to lack of a valid permit and cannot issue visitor parking on-site.

We encourage students and faculty/staff to utilize the Pride Ride campus shuttle for a quick ride to the MRC.
