For WSU men’s basketball games, lots in the vicinity of Koch Arena will be reserved for Shocker Athletic Scholarship Organization parking three hours before game time. On those occasions, signage will be in place the day of the game alerting drivers of the impending lot assignment changes.

Anyone previously parked in these lots will need to move their cars at this time.

Plan early for these events by visiting the men’s basketball parking page to view a map and list of game days and times and sign up for parking text alerts. Unauthorized parking in a game day lot carries a $50 fine.

Lot 41, the lot near Woolsey Hall, will be closed until 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 13 for an event. The purpose of the lot reservations is to help accommodate large group of guests visiting campus for an event.

Wichita State affiliates are not to park in lots closed for a reservation and could be subject to a parking fine if they do. Red reserved and ADA stalls will still be available for their intended purpose on this day.

Parking at the YMCA, Lot 40, is limited to two hours and is only available to those who are actively using the YMCA.

Citations will be issued to those who park for longer than two hours or use the parking lot while not in the YMCA. Because of ongoing unauthorized parking in the lot, fines will be doubled for those who receive a citation.

Thank you for your continued cooperation.

There will be limited parking in the garage and Lot 7, the parking lot just south of the RSC, Friday, Aug. 18 for the NXT Level Garage Party.

Red stall owners will be allowed to park in their stalls like normal until 5 p.m. Parking will also be available on level two of the garage and in lot 7 until 5 p.m. Faculty and staff who typically park on level 4 with their ePermit are welcome to park on level 2 with their ePermit this day only. Parking on levels 3 and 4 will not be available.

The full garage and Lot 7 will close for the event at 5 p.m. and will remain closed through the weekend. Normal garage usage will begin again Monday, Aug. 21, with a small number of stalls on level 4 staying blocked off during the day Monday.

Lots 3N, 3S and 11 near Cessna Stadium will reopen in time for the fall semester. The construction fence will remain in place, however the gates will be open for lot use.

Lots 3S and 11 will continue serving as yellow faculty/staff lots and Lot 3N as a green student lot. These lots will be available for use until approximately Thanksgiving Break, when they will close again for the next phase of construction work on Cessna Stadium.

Additional parking for both faculty/staff and students in this area is available in Lot 34, located north of 21st Street at Yale Avenue. 

Parking Services is looking for two new parking officers to join their team on the main Wichita State campus.

You can have a part in making sure people aren’t tempted to park in places where they are not allowed to park. Other responsibilities include vehicle assist calls, setting up and tearing down parking lot reservations, writing citations and providing great customer service.

With the closures of parking lots around Cessna Stadium, Lot 34, north of 21st Street and Yale Avenue, has reopened for faculty, staff and student use.

Departments looking to clear out their lost and found before the summer session begins can contact the University Police Department to pick up items Monday, May 15 through Thursday, May 18.
