Students

Space for Parking on campus is limited. All motorists who wish to park vehicles in campus lots must purchase a permit or pay at a meter or pay station. A permit serves as permission to park and does not guarantee a space. Permits are not valid at meters or pay stations without payment. Student permits are sold on a first-come, first-served basis, until the permit sales maximum is reached.  NOTE THAT PERMITS DO SELL OUT PRIOR TO THE START OF THE ACADEMIC YEAR, SO DON'T DELAY YOUR PURCHASE IF YOU NEED ONE.

​​Annual Permits (2023-24) were made available for purchase on the following schedule:

• July 10 @ 8 AM to Graduates/Seniors/Juniors (60+ earned credits) 
• July 12 @ 8 AM to Sophomores (30+ earned credits) and

• July 17 @ 8 AM to Freshmen (under 30 credits earned)​

Check the "Alternatives" tab to view other options.​

Permit​​s are sold on a first come first serve basis until sold out.  After they are sold out a waitlist is​ started.  Permits are only sold as "Annual" at the beginning of the academic year.  If it is not needed for 2nd semester you must request the permit to be cancelled for a partial refund.  This must be done by email to Parking.Services.Office@uwsp.edu.  

Spring semester permits are not available to purchase until December 18, 2023--if available.​

Student parking lots are located on the perimeters of campus and may not be as convenient as preferred. The student p​​ermit lots are not close to the academic buildings. The largest student lot is located on the East side of campus, while most residence halls are on the West side of campus. 

Students are able to park at meters on campus or on the streets with proper payment.  See meter information under the Visitors tab.

New/Incoming students NEED TO WAIT 2 business days after​​ course enrollment before a Parking Account is established.    

Student lots are also open (free) during Spring Break and the days between Christmas and New Years.
