Since there is limited parking at WCU, parking must be regulated to ensure its fair,
safe and orderly usage by persons permitted to use WCU parking areas.
Visit the Parking/Vehicle Regulations page. Select the category on the left side that describes your status as an employee/student
and view the qualifications and permit eligibility, as well as the parking lots/locations
that are specific to that parking permit. Parking maps are helpful and are located
at Parking Services and on our website. If you need additional help, please contact
Parking Services: 610-436-3345.
Student parking lots are enforced Monday through Friday, 7am to 4pm. Employee lots
are enforced 24/7/365. Summer/winter break enforcement can be found on the first page
of the Parking Services website.
Parking permits are $30.00 for both employees and students. Garage passes are $260.00
per semester for employees and $200.00 per semester for students. Summer (includes
all summer sessions) is $150.00 for both employees and students.

Guests may park in student parking lots if they are visiting outside of enforcement

Center Garage and Commons Garage.

As a first year resident, you are not permitted to park in campus parking lots. This
does not prevent you from parking your vehicle in the on campus parking garages by
paying the hourly/daily rate.
You may file a "hardship exception" appeal to this parking regulation by providing
sufficient documentation demonstrating that inability to park on campus will create
either a financial or medical hardship.
