VISITOR CENTER AND PARKING SERVICES

VISITOR PARKING

Visitor parking at University of Wisconsin–Whitewater is convenient and designed to help guests get where they need to go with ease. Designated visitor parking areas are located throughout campus near academic buildings, residence halls, and major facilities. Visitors can purchase short-term parking or use metered spaces where available. Be sure to check posted signage and follow campus parking regulations to ensure a smooth visit.

There are two options for visitors to obtain parking on the UW-Whitewater campus.

Purchase Your Day Pass in the Parking Portal

Temporary Permits

UW-Whitewater has moved to LPR (License Plate Recognition) which means you will no longer receive or print out a parking permit to be displayed on your dash because your license plate will be your permit.   Therefore, it is the permit holder's responsibility to ensure the correct vehicle information is being entered at the time the permit is being purchased to avoid unwanted tickets. 

Parking permits are required at all times except for University recognized holidays and on weekends (starting at 5PM on Friday and extending through 11PM on Sunday). Daily visitor permits are available to purchase online from our Parking Portal or in the Parking Services office during business hours. Permits purchased online or from the Parking Services office will not include overnight parking.

Hourly, daily, and overnight permits are available for purchase at all times from the kiosk in the Visitor Center drive-thru. You will need your license plate and a credit or debit card to use the kiosk; American Express is not accepted. All permits from the kiosk start at the time of purchase, and are limited to the lots designated on the signs next to the machine. Usually, this means kiosk permit holders can park in Lots 1, 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 18, 19, 21, and 24 along with Prince and Prairie street during the day.

Vehicles utilizing kiosk permits for overnight parking (between 2AM-5AM) must be parked in Lot 19. Any notices left on the signs next to the kiosk override this information. Failure to park in designated lots will result in Improper Lot citations.

Visitor permits purchased online are not valid for overnight parking or valid to park in resident lots, in reserved, restricted, or metered (AMP) stalls (see parking map). Violators will be subject to tickets. 

  • One hour - $1.65
  • Two hours - $3.05
  • Three hours - $4.45
  • Day permits (up to midnight) - $5.00
  • Overnight permits - $8.00

Hourly Pay-By-Space Parking

Pay-by-space fees are required at all times except for University-recognized holidays and on weekends (starting at 5 PM on Friday and extending through 11 PM on Sunday).

The following lots have short-term parking available through the AMP Parking App:

 

  • Lots:  1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 12, 12A, 14, 23, Hyer, Koshkonong Drive, and Lauderdale Drive.

Maximum time limits of two hours are enforced for each area individually except for Lots 11 and 23 which have a four-hour maximum time limit.  You must be parked in a stall labeled with an AMP sign for your payment through the app to be considered valid.  

Once you reach the maximum time limit in a particular zone, you will no longer have the ability to extend your time or start a new session in that area until the 24-hour lockout period concludes.  These zones are meant for short-term parking and are not to be utilized for all-day accommodations.  Remaining parked in a pay-by-space stall beyond the expiration of a session or without paying at all will result in a citation. You can be cited every two or four hours in these stalls.

Permits are not required when parked at the pay-by-space stalls; however, a permit does not cancel the requirement to pay the fees of the pay-by-space stalls.
