by Betsy Chapman

The following information has been provided for first-year (freshman) students and parents from the Office of Parking Management.

—————-

Welcome First Year Students!

Anyone student who wishes to park a vehicle on a university parking lot at any time of day or night, including after 5:00 p.m. weekdays, on weekends, during regular business hours of 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. weekdays, and during breaks must register that vehicle with the Parking and Transportation office.

Vehicle Registration for freshman/first year students will begin August 1, 2014. Go online at http://facilities.wfu.edu/transport/parking-and-transportation/  to register your vehicle. This website is also a great place to find information about parking during certain events like Thanksgiving, Winter Break or Spring Break.
