Parking Portal

Permits are sold online through the Parking Portal.  By purchasing a permit, you enter into a contract with UWL and agree to abide by UWL parking policies.   

We strongly encourage students to test their access to the Parking Portal prior to the start of the permit sale on July 10th.  If you experience any issues, please contact us at 608-785-8061. 

Important Information Before You Enter the Parking Portal

  1. Students living in the residence halls may purchase a resident (R lot) permit and students living off campus may purchase a commuter (C lot) permit.  Commuter permits are not valid for overnight parking on campus.  
  2. Review the campus map  to determine which lots you want to prioritize. Note the locations of resident and commuter lots. Lots are sold first come, first served. If a parking lot is not listed, it is sold out. 
  3. Have your vehicle information (make, model, color) and license plate number ready to enter in the permit sale portal. The vehicle must be registered to the student or an immediate family member.
