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.

Wichita State posts signs at every parking lot on campus to help you find where to park.

The signs feature big block letters and colors: “V” and white for visitors; “S” and green for students; and “F” and yellow for faculty and staff. Reserved lots and parking spaces are marked with red signage.

ePermits can be purchased online and are required to park in student, faculty and staff parking lots while school is in session during the enforcement period from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors may park without an ePermit three times each semester before an ePermit is required.
