The state of Kansas recently began issuing new license plates that include four numbers and three letters. If you have a new license plate, please update your information in the parking portal, which can be found in your myWSU under “ePermits,” to avoid a citation.

You cannot edit your current listing; you must delete it and add the new one. If you have questions, email wsuparking@wichita.edu or call 316-978-5526.

Yale Avenue, between 21st Street and Perimeter Road, will be closed for road construction starting the evening of Monday, May 27. The road is expected to re-open in early June.

WSU will host participants and attendees for the 5A state baseball and softball and state track events starting Thursday, May 23 through May 25. These events bring a large amount of visitors to campus and parking will be congested around Eck Stadium, Wilkins Stadium and Cessna Stadium.

Faculty, staff, students and partners are encouraged to plan accordingly and arrive early if they come to campus during this time frame. Summer parking will be in effect at this time; unless noted with signage, all green lots will be free and open parking.

Lot 41, the parking lot near Woolsey Hall, will be closed Wednesday, May 15 and 16 for events in the building.

Red reserved and ADA stalls are not subject to lot closures and proper use is permitted during this time.

Due to the success of the recently formed parking garage ePermit add-on, Parking Services is excited to announce current ePermits will be extended through June 30, from their original expiration date of May 9, at no additional charge to current add-on ePermit holders. The garage add-on ePermit will now be available for six months at a time at the same cost of $50 per ePermit. The dates of these ePermits will be Jan. 1 through June 30 and July 1 through Dec. 31, with each add-on going on sale Jan. 1 and July 1, respectively. You must have a current ePermit on file to purchase the add-on. Add-on ePermit holders are responsible for renewing their add-on if they want to continue to park in the garage, reminders will not be sent out when the ePermit expires.

Garage add-ons can be purchased in person at the Parking Services Building (the old Campus Credit Union) with cash or check only, lobby and drive-thru hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Call 978-5526 or email wsuparking@wichita.edu with any questions.
