Parking & Transportation FAQ
How do I Register a Car?
If you are a student or employee, you can log into your WIN account and click on “personal” or you can register from the Parking and Transportation website. Check the Parking and Transportation website for permit distribution/mailing information. Temporary vehicles, replacement vehicles or other special circumstances will require you to come to the Parking and Transportation office to register. Visitors must come to the Parking and Transportation office. Students and employees must present a valid and legible WFUID to pick up permits.
If I get a different car, what do I need to do?
You must remove the gate pass and rear parking permits off of the car you will no longer have and return them to the Parking and Transportation office to get a replacement set at no charge. You cannot complete this process online.
Can I get a replacement permit?
You can receive a replacement permit free of charge if you have a registered vehicle for the current school year. To obtain a replacement, you must bring in the old permits and your vehicle registration.
What if I need to drive another vehicle temporarily?
Students who have not previously registered a vehicle can purchase a temporary permit (valid for two weeks) for $20. If you have a temporary vehicle, you need a temporary permit. Temporary permits are good for two weeks and are free of charge if you previously purchased a permit for the current academic year. You can receive up to two temporary permits per semester.
Why would I get a citation?
The most frequent citations issued include:
1). Having an off-campus permit and being parked on campus during restrictive hours.
2). Not registering your vehicle.
3). Parking in a Fire Lane for any reason.
4). Parking in reserved spaces or parking lots that are for permits other than yours.
5). Parking in a handicapped space without a placard or using a placard that is not yours.
You can be ticketed for more than one violation at a time. Parking Rules and Regulations are enforced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, whether class is in session or not.
My permit is for 1st Assembly Parking, but the lot is always full. What should I do?
There are two lots on each side of Long Drive. On the church side (east side of Long Drive), you have lot B. When you turn into that lot, keep to the right of the driveway; there is absolutely NO parking on the left side of the driveway. Lot A is on the west side of Long Drive. Signs identify where student parking stops in that lot. If you continue through lot A and up the small incline, there are spaces marked in yellow for the OC permits; it is considered 1st Assembly parking.
How do I appeal a citation?
All appeals must be filed online from the Parking and Transportation Appeals website. The appeal must be completed 14 days from the date which appears on the citation or the appeal will not be accepted. The citation issuance date is counted as the first day of the 14-calendar day appeal period. A person must have readily available the citation number and vehicle plate number before an online appeal can be filed.
How do I pay a parking citation?
- Student citation fines are automatically charged to their student account.
- WFU faculty and staff may pay citations via voluntary payroll deduction by signing the reverse side of the citation, providing your WFU employee ID number and sending the citation to the Parking and Transportation office. Faculty and staff may also pay by check, money order or credit card. Cash can be accepted at Finance and Accounting, if the citation is provided.
