Living on Campus?

A university residential student can choose to purchase a permit or park on the city streets. 

Permit:

Students living in Residential Halls have the option of purchasing a permit to park in a student permit space pending availability. University parking lots designated with overnight student permit parking are: E, K, L, N, O and W. These lots are identified with a sign at each entrance indicating student permit parking along with the name of the lot. Permits are enforced in these lots from 6:00pm Sunday until 4:30pm Friday. Display of the permit authorizes parking only in the specific permit lot designated on the permit.

Housing assignments will be verified beginning July 23, 2012. If you do not have a valid housing assignment at that time, your permit will be canceled and a refund would be processed less a $25 administrative fee.

The permit must be returned to University Parking if you move off campus. A prorated refund will then be issued. Permits are non-refundable after April 30. Transferring a permit from one student to another is not allowed and will result in revocation of parking privileges, Improperly Obtained Permit citation and possible UWS 18.08 citation. If a permit is revoked, there will be no refund of the permit value.

Each residence hall is equipped with Parking Information Boards, located by exit doors leading to the parking lots. Students are responsible for checking the boards for current parking information.
