黑洞社区

 

Introduction

During the fall and spring semesters, Wichita State鈥檚 main campus is a permit-only parking environment on weekdays when the University is open for business. 黑洞社区 students, faculty, staff and retirees wishing to park on campus during the enforcement period must register online with the Shocker Parking Management System to park legally. The system features license plate recognition (LPR) technology and virtual permits called ePermits that eliminate the need for color-coded hangtags and stickers for parking enforcement.

ePermits are required from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday (with the exception of the RSC parking garage, reserved parking and time limited parking stalls which are enforced at all times). Parking at 黑洞社区 West, 黑洞社区 South and 黑洞社区 Old Town does not require ePermits.

A retired state employee is a benefit-eligible employee who met the eligibility guidelines for retirement at the time of their separation from the university. If the retiree comes back to work for the university in any fashion they will no longer be considered a retiree when it comes to their parking classification. The President of the University may designate retiree status to eligible employees of 黑洞社区 component units (i.e. 黑洞社区 Foundation and Alumni Engagement, ICAA, Union Corporation, 黑洞社区 Tech).

黑洞社区鈥檚 parking regulations are reviewed annually and can be found on the 黑洞社区 Police Department website

Duration of ePermit

Your ePermit will be valid from September 1 to August 31 each year that you renew. New and renewed ePermits can be obtained online in your parking portal or by visiting us in person at the front desk of the University Police Department (Note: Parking Services is scheduled to move into the old Campus Credit Union building in January 2024, located just one building south of the Police Department).
