  • Hourly Short Term Parking – you must pay the $1 hourly rate if you park in this lot, even if you have a faculty/staff or student permit.
  • Street Parking - Parking on campus, city or state streets will result in citations from WVU Tech or City of Beckley

Parking in the painted hatched areas will also result in a citation.

Accessible spaces on campus fall under DMV guidelines. Parking in these spaces will require both DMV-approved tags/decals and the proper WVU Tech parking pass.

Guest Parking

Admissions and Visitor Center guests have access to complimentary parking in spots at the University Police Station (313 S. Kanawha St.)

Campus guests should park in the hourly paid lots on campus.

Students - for guest passes, visit the Office of Student Accounts in Benedum.

Faculty, staff and administration requiring guest parking passes for visitors or special events should visit Facilities Management to get passes.

Displaying Permits 

Permits must be clearly displayed from your rear-view mirror facing forward. Failure to do so may result in a citation.

If you drive a different car or a rental car, do not forget to transfer your permit to the new car. If you arrive on campus and realize you do not have your permit, it is recommend that park and pay in the Hourly Short-Term lot to avoid receiving a citation.

Lost Permits 

If you lose your permit, stop by Office of Student Accounts, One-Stop Shop room 110 in the Benedum Building to get a new one. Your old permit will be deactivated in the system.
