Parking at UW Stout
- Campus Parking: Parking is regulated at the University of Wisconsin and is monitored from 7 am to 4 pm. (It is free after 4:00 p.m.) Visitors can park in “commuter lots” in unsigned spaces. A commuter lot will be designated with either a ‘C’ or say ‘Commuter’ on the signage by the entrances to the lot.
- The are two alternatives, both of which involve prepaying. You may either park in lots 18/19, 27, or 29 and use the pay station that is located by/near the lots to pay or you can use the ParkMobile App to park in lots 1, 14, 18/19, 24, 27, 29, or 30. If using the app, make sure your location is enabled so it can tell what lot you are parking in. For either of those two options, you will need your license plate number. Parking is $1/hour.
- If there are any questions, please contact the Parking Office M-F 8am to 4pm at 715-232-1792. A map of campus can be found by going to www.uwstout.edu/parking.
- Hotel Parking: Anyone staying at the Cobblestone Inn will be within walking distance. The Memorial Union is in the center of the campus and is approximately 2 blocks from the hotel.
- Street Parking: There is also street parking on two sides of the campus. Although there are meters, during the summer several of the meters may be covered which means you would not need to pay to park.
