Reminders, deadlines and events
* WSU will soon open a significant number of parking spaces in Lot 5 -- the orange-permitted Shocker Hall parking lot east of the Corbin Education Center -- to commuter students on a first-come, first-served basis. Students who have purchased green permits and would like to park in Lot 5 must complete a request form for consideration. If chosen from the pool of eligible students, they must exchange their green permit for an orange permit that allows them access to Lot 5. Students should note that after the exchange they must only park in Lot 5 and may no longer park in green or green/yellow lots on campus during the periods of enforcement. Go to http://www.wichita.edu/lot5 to submit a request.
