Important Information About Parking at UWSP


PLUG/PURCHASE OR PAY THE FINE!

The erection of a beautiful new science building has meant tighter parking at UWSP, and the City of Stevens Point will be installing parking meters on many of the streets adjacent to campus after many years of allowing students to park for free.  UWSP lots are clearly marked; street parking is monitored by the city.

Please purchase parking passes ahead of time for UWSP lots, and make sure to plug the meters if you park on a metered slot whether it is in a lot or on the street.

UWSP meter parking is available in Lots R and Y at $.75 per hour. (Lot R meters have coin and cell phone app payment options; Lot Y has coin and debit/credit card payment options.)

Bus parking in campus lots on Thursday and Friday is not available. Buses can park on the street for drop-off and pick-up (and load in and out), but then will need to be directed away from NFAC.

Parking meters on campus are not enforced after 7pm on Friday and are open (not enforced) all day on Saturday.  On Saturdays, large buses have parked in Lot R, but should NOT park in Lot Y.
