Scheduling Visitor Parking

How to Schedule Visitors on Campus:

Visitors parking may be requested by employees only, students may request parking for visitor or guest speakers by contacting University Student Affairs.

There are two ways to schedule guests:

  1. Resource Scheduler Reservation
  2. Visitor Parking Request form.

Visitors for Non-Reserved rooms/areas (not available on the Resource Scheduler)

These visits need to be scheduled by completing the Visitor Parking Request form. If it is imperative that you mail the permit, you must email parking@westernu.edu at least a week prior to their visit. Visitor Parking is located by the bookstore, to the side of University Services Center.  and in lot 19.
