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.

Types of Parking Permits
All UW-Superior parking permits (except motorcycle and special single use paper permits) are of the transferable hanging type.
- If the owner of the permit has more than one vehicle, the permit may be used in whichever vehicle is currently being parked in a campus parking area.
- 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.
