Types of Parking Permits
All UW-Superior parking permits (except motorcycle and special single use paper permits) are of the transferable hanging type.

- Permits must be hung, clearly visible, from the inside rearview mirror to be valid.
SPECIAL NOTE: Ownership of permits is not transferable.
Never purchase or take a permit from another person as that permit may have been reported as lost or stolen. This would make you subject to violation of state statute UWS Chapter 18.08(8)(a, b, or c)-Misuse of Parking Services, with a possible fine amount of $295.00.

Parking Regulations and Enforcement
Parking Regulations
It is the responsibility of the motor vehicle operator to be aware of UW-Superior’s parking regulations and to park only in areas allowed by the college’s regulations. Parking is enforced from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. All lots have signage indicating the type of parking allowed in that lot. The lack of legal convenient space is not considered a valid excuse for parking illegally. The university assumes no liability for loss or damage to any vehicle or its contents while parked on university property.
All vehicles parked in UW-Superior parking lots (unless parked at a meter) must display a valid parking permit for that lot/area. Permits are non-transferable and may only be used by the person they are issued to. It is illegal to alter a parking permit.
- Parking permits must be properly displayed. Hanging permits should be hung from the inside rearview mirror facing to the front of the vehicle. Paper permits should be placed on the dashboard on the driver’s side.
- All vehicles parked in designated handicap spaces must display a UW-Superior issued parking permit along with a State-issued Handicap permit or license plate, unless the space is signed otherwise.
- Parking in a no-parking zone, loading zone, or fire lane is strictly prohibited. The use of vehicle hazard lights is not justification for illegally parking in these areas.
- Vehicles must be parked within the lines designating a parking space. The fact that other vehicles are parked illegally in the same area will not be accepted as an excuse for illegal parking.
- The lack of a legal parking space is not considered a valid excuse for parking illegally. Illegally parked vehicles may be towed under certain circumstances.
- All vehicles parked at parking meters must pay the required meter fees during enforced times.
- Between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., parking without advance permission is prohibited in lots 2, 11, 12, and 14 which are posted “no overnight parking.” If a vehicle breaks down, severe weather conditions exist, or a personal emergency prevents you from moving your car, immediately contact Parking Services at 715-394-8177 (during regular business hours) or University Police Department at 715-394-8114 (after hours).
- Vehicles parked in any lot from Nov. 1 to May 1 must be moved to a different space every 48 hours so as not to impede snow plowing and removal, unless prior approval is granted from the Parking Services Office.
- Mopeds and motorcycles require a parking permit and must park in lots (look for designated spots where available).
- The speed limit in all lots is 15 MPH and all other motor vehicle laws must be obeyed. All vehicles parking in university lots must be legally registered.

We’re Here to Help
UW-Superior Parking Services is responsible for coordinating the sale and distribution of parking permits, enforcing parking regulations, maintaining parking lots and assigning parking areas for special events. The office also is in charge of issuing university keys and approving staff and students who may be required to drive for university purposes.
Ample parking is available for students, staff and visitors in the 15 parking lots across campus. Motor vehicle operators are presumed to be familiar with all parking regulations and may only park where they are legally entitled. Signs at lot entrances identify what type of parking is allowed in the lot. Parking regulations are enforced and tickets will be issued to vehicles which are not properly parked. Please review the map of parking lots so you are familiar with where you can park.
Parking Services is an auxiliary unit, which is funded primarily by parking permit fees and receives no tax or tuition dollars.
If you have any questions related to parking on campus, don’t hesitate to contact us.
