First Time on Campus?

Parking must be prepaid across campus at a pay station or by starting a parking session using one of our contactless payment options. The only exceptions are in the Student Union, Northwest Quad, Pavilion, and Lubar garages; prior to exiting the structure, parking may be paid for via a pay station or ending by a Parkmobile session at the exit.

Visit the Rates Page for current rates.

All parking structures and surfaces lots are enforced 24/7.

The Washington County and Waukesha Campuses have separate operations from the main Milwaukee campus. Please see their webpages for more information.

Parking in the Union, NWQ, Pavilion, or Lubar Garages
The most convenient parking on campus for visitors is the centrally located Student Union garage. Enter the Union garage from E Kenwood Blvd. The Union Garage allows for transient parking-only. No permits are offered for that location.

Use the Transportation Services Map to help you find the garage entrance. Entrances are marked by green pins.

Parking in the Northwest Quadrant (NWQ), Pavilion, or Lubar garages is the same process as parking in the Union garage. These four garages are different from other UWM campus parking lots as they require payment when exiting. More information about the technology to help with parking in these garages is available online on the Garage Pay Station page.

You can view current public parking availability in the garages by clicking the following link:

Review Posted Signage To Avoid Citations

Some areas are permit-only parking and are marked by a signs. Adhere to posted signage at each lot in order to avoid a citation. Consult the map and signage page for more information.

Parking lots and garages are controlled by pay stations, which are centralized multi-space meters. It is important to take notice of the signage located at the entrance of each lot. This includes lot number, time restrictions (if applicable), and payment instructions. Most pay stations require users to enter their license plate number and parking duration.

Student, Faculty, and Staff parking locations

Students, Faculty and Staff are also encouraged to review the Parking Rates page for the most affordable parking options on the UWM campus. To avoid issues with parking, it is recommended that permits are purchased in advance using the UWM Transportation Services Online Portal. UWM is a virtual permit campus; no hangtag, no placard, and no sticker will be needed, only your license plate. (Exceptions are made for certain garages like Cambridge and Riverview.)

(Please note motorcycle and moped parking, accessible parking, emeritus parking, and contractor parking are the only modes or parking which require physically coming to the UWM Transportation Services office in advance)
