Wichita State's new parking system is open for business

Beginning today (Tuesday, July 12), Wichita State students, faculty and staff may purchase virtual parking permits (ePermits) for the upcoming 2016-17 academic year.

The new system features license plate recognition (LPR) technology that eliminates the need for color-coded hangtags and stickers for parking enforcement. A single ePermit can be used for up to five vehicles, including motorcycles and rental cars, as needed, provided only one of the vehicles is on campus at the same time.

If you have a state disabled parking placard or plate, registering your vehicle and purchasing an ePermit is not required. You may park in the marked accessible parking stalls spread throughout campus. If those stalls are full, you can park in any legally available stall not posted as restricted or reserved.

Please register your vehicle online on or before Wednesday, Aug. 31. Faculty and staff ePermit prices are based on salary and must be purchased through payroll deduction. If you don't have a parking payroll deduction form already on file, you must submit a payroll deduction form electronically at http://www.wichita.edu/j/?4847 or fill out a paper form at the Human Resources office at least two business days before attempting to register. To purchase a 2016-17 employee ePermit, log in to myWSU and click the ePermit link near the top of the page. You will be asked to provide license plate information and the type, make and color of each vehicle you wish to register.

If your license plate is on the rear of your vehicle, backing into a parking stall or pulling through is no longer allowed.
