Please visit the 2022–2023 Parking Rate and Zone Change webpage for details regarding the new approved parking permit rates and zone changes.


All vehicle information must be updated

To review and/or update vehicle information on a parking account:

  • Click “Login” in the top right-hand corner
  • Log in with WSU network ID and password
