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.
Faculty, staff and students who operate motorized vehicles and who wish to park these vehicles on University property must purchase a decal or permit. A decal may be obtained by completing an application form and paying the required fee at the Bursar's Office (SS 1300). A parking decal is not valid for the purpose of storing a vehicle on campus or for vehicles that have been disabled for more than 72 hours unless approved by the Parking Office. Decals are valid in all campus lots (excluding reserved or restricted stalls AND THE VISITOR LOT BY MAC HALL).
Two time periods have been defined for the purpose of assessing fees. The first is the fall semester. The second is the spring semester, which includes both the intersession and the summer session. Decals may be purchased for by semester or the full academic year (Sept 1 thru Aug 31). Faculty and staff purchasing decals for the full academic year may have the fee payroll deducted. Evening decals, valid from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., are also available, but are not eligible for payroll deduction. On automobiles, decals must be clearly displayed on the driver’s side, rear passenger window. Alternative placement must be approved through Parking prior to being used.
A parking decal can be returned to the Parking Office for a partial refund based on the refund schedule.
Motorcycles, mopeds, motor scooters and motorbikes decals must be attached to the non-reflective side of the rear view mirror. If the owner of a motorcycle has purchased a decal for their automobile, the motorcycle decal will be issued at no charge. Motorcycle decals are nontransferable. Motorcycles must park in the designated motorcycle parking areas.
In the event that a decal is lost or stolen a replacement decal may be purchased at the Bursars Office (SS 1300).
Reserve parking areas are available for the disabled. Questions concerning H/C parking may be directed to the Parking Office at (920) 465-2301.
One day and five day parking permits may be purchased at the Parking Office located on Main Entrance Drive, or from the Office of Residence Life. Permits are valid only on the date(s) specified. These permits are sold to faculty, staff and students who have not purchased a parking decal. These permits are valid in all campus lots (excluding reserved or restricted stalls AND THE VISITOR LOT BY MAC HALL).
Visitors must obtain a visitor parking permit from the Parking Office or the Office of Residence Life. These permits are valid in all campus lots (excluding reserved or restricted stalls). There is no fee for visitor parking. Students caught using visitor permits will be ticketed.
