Reminders, deadlines and events

* New campus parking signs say that an ePermit is required. While we do not have physical permits, the lots are still color coded. Commuter students may park in either green or green/yellow designated lots. Shocker Hall students may park in the orange designated lot, and Fairmount Towers students in the brown lot located at Fairmount Towers. WSU students may purchase virtual parking permits (ePermits) for the 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 a time.
