Parking Permits
A permit is required to park in all WSU campus parking lots. There are different permit types for different lots, and you can only park in the lots that match your parking permit.
Permits are awarded on a first come first serve basis. You are not guaranteed a permit. Waiting lists will be established once permits are sold out.
You must submit a new parking application each year. Parking Services does not offer automatic renewals for permits.
All outstanding citations and fees must be paid before a new permit application will be processed.
If you live on campus, your parking permit is determined based on your residence hall.
If you do not live in the residence halls or East Lake Apartments, you should apply for a commuter permit.
Students can start applying on May 1.
Submit a Parking Permit Application for the upcoming academic year.
If a permit is issued, the cost will be charged to your student account.
