Special Event Parking Requests

Students at a WCU Tailgate

 

To reserve special event parking, you must have approval from a member of the Executive Council Board. Parking resources are limited and arrangements need to be made in advance so that options and resources may be explored.

Please note: all requests must be approved by the Director of Parking and Transportation. Not all requested areas will be available depending on the time of year, however, parking will explore all available options and relay available alternatives with the requester. All Non-University events are required to pay a minimum $25 charge for Special Event Parking. 

    • For large events requests must be made at least 3 weeks in advance. Failure to do so may result in the unavailability of a requested lot(s). Parking Operations will not close an entire faculty/staff lot.
    • For small events (coned spaces), please submit your request at least 1 week in advance. Failure to do so may result in the unavailability of requested spots.

Fees and Additional Information

  • $25 per space
