Our Campus

Parking Information

WCL Facilities has combined forces with 51²è¹Ý Parking & Traffic and created a new online parking portal to manage your parking permit needs. Please .

As a condition of enrollment at the Washington College of Law, students are required to read and sign a copy of the 51²è¹Ý Parking Policy. The policy prohibits students parking in the streets surrounding the law school and 51²è¹Ý's main campus. Students rescind the use of their zone 3 permit and therefore, possession of a valid zone 3 sticker does not constitute an exclusion from the parking policy.

Any student who has not signed a copy of the parking policy is in violation of their student agreement with the University and must sign a copy immediately.

Payment at the elevator lobby machines or a parking permit is required during hours of operation.ÌýÌý

Hours of Operation:

Monday- Friday 8am – 8pm

Important Links

All WCL students can purchase a WCL Virtual Parking Permit through the 51²è¹Ý Parking Portal. All other students can purchase hourly parking in the WCL Garage.

Virtual Parking Permits are sold throughout Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. New Fall and Annual permits become available for purchase through the 51²è¹Ý Parking Portal at the start of orientation week in the Fall semester. Fall permits expire by the end of Winter break; while Spring, Summer, and Annual permits expire August 15th.ÌýBetween semesters, students who only purchased a Fall semester permit are required to renew their virtual parking permits.

Students may register on the 51²è¹Ý Parking Portal for the WCL Virtual Self Park Code to use with PayByPhone to park as needed at a student rate. Print the permit to find the discount student parking code to use with PayByPhone.

*Please note that WCL runs on a virtual parking permit system, therefore no physical permits are issued.
