Parking Permits
All motorized vehicles operated by students, faculty, staff, and Rec Center members must be registered and have a valid, properly displayed parking permit to park on the Wayne State College campus.
In addition, all motorized vehicles are required by state law to be registered either in the State of Nebraska or the vehicle owner’s state of record. Vehicles found to be in violation will be immobilized.
A parking permit may be used only by the person to whom it was issued and only on the registered vehicle.
2024-25 parking permits are valid from the first day of classes for the 2024-25 fall semester (Aug. 19, 2024) to the first day of the 2025-26 fall semester.
