Parking & Transportation Services supports the campus community by providing convenient parking options, virtual permit management, and transportation resources for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.
All vehicles parked on campus must be registered through the WSSU Parking & Transportation Portal. Freshmen are not permitted to have vehicles on campus. Upperclass students, faculty, and staff must register their vehicles and park in their designated zones. Visitors and guests must park in designated visitor parking areas or pay for parking through the Passport Parking app.
Students and employees who require accessible parking must have a valid WSSU parking permit and display either a North Carolina disability placard or a valid disability license plate. Disability placards must also be registered with the WSSU Campus Parking Office.
Parking regulations are enforced at all times. After 5:00 p.m., individuals with a current permit may park in most campus parking areas, except accessible spaces, fire lanes, reserved spaces, and residential parking areas. Failure to comply with parking policies may result in a citation or the vehicle being towed at the owner’s expense.
Parking citations must be paid within 10 days to avoid becoming overdue.
In-person vehicle registration assistance is available at the Parking & Transportation Department during the following hours:
Monday–Friday: 7:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Parking & Transportation Services is located in the Anderson Center Modular Unit.

Handicap parking
The North Carolina statute for handicap placards is N.C. General Statute 20-37.6, which grants parking privileges for vehicles displaying a valid handicap placard, plate, or temporary placard. This allows for unlimited parking in time-restricted zones but does not apply to areas where parking is completely prohibited or reserved for special vehicles. It is illegal to park in a handicap space without a proper placard or plate, or to obstruct a curb ramp or curb cut.
When may I use disability parking?
Disability parking may be used only when the person to whom the placard or plate was issued is in the vehicle. If that person is not in the vehicle, the driver may not use the disability placard/plate.
Anyone else using a disability parking placard or plate for any reason may be subject to posted fines.
Fire Lane
The North Carolina fire lane statute is primarily found in G.S. § 20-162, which prohibits parking or standing in a designated fire lane. This applies to both public and private vehicular areas, and local ordinances may also apply, such as those for marking requirements and enforcement penalties.
