For a quick visit
Metered spaces near the main buildings take coins, card, and the parking app. For a half or full day, buy a daily visitor permit online and print or display it — cheaper than feeding a meter and valid in general lots.
For families and admitted students
The Welcome Center visitor lot is first choice for a campus tour or an appointment; tell Admissions you're coming and they can validate parking. On big days — open house, move-in, commencement — extra lots open and shuttles run; watch email for the specific plan.
In and around Porter Falls
Day-to-day life at Porter runs between Founders Union, the residence halls on the south quad and North Campus across the Riverfront Trail. The Porter Loop shuttle and a compact footprint mean most students can get anywhere on campus in under fifteen minutes on foot.
The practical details
Options: Metered lots near the Depot and Founders Union, the visitor pay lot by the Welcome Center, and daily permits from the parking portal. Event parking: Large events open designated lots; follow signage and staff. Accessible: State-issued placards are honored in any accessible space; no campus permit needed. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Dean of Students Office (Founders Union, Room 200). Call (715) 555–0182 or email deanofstudents@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
