Parking Regulations


GENERAL PARKING INFORMATION

The State of Wisconsin provides no state tax money to the campus to construct or maintain parking facilities, therefore, a parking fee is levied to generate operating and construction funds.

Authorization for campus regulations comes from the Wisconsin Statutes. All other provisions of Chapter 346 of the Wisconsin Statutes relating to vehicular travel upon highways open to public use also apply to roadways on University grounds.

Information about parking regulations may be obtained by contacting the Parking Office at (920) 465 2301 or parking@uwgb.edu. The Parking Office is located on Main Entrance Drive.

  2. During intersession and summer session, permits are required Monday - Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
