Permit Transfers

  • If you have a permit and want to transfer to a different lot, add yourself to the waitlist through the Parking Portal for your desired lot.
  • If you're awarded a permit for the new lot, the credit from your original permit applies to the new one — you'll either pay the difference or receive a refund if the two permits differ in price.
  • If you're transferring an R lot permit to a different R lot, contact transportation@wwu.edu directly.

Permit Returns & Refunds

  • Permits can be returned for a prorated refund, calculated from the day the return is requested.
  • Refund requests made after an extended personal or emergency leave don't qualify for a retroactive refund — any unused quarters remaining on the permit will still be refunded.
  • To request a return, email Transportation Services with your W# and your request.
  • Refunds are issued to the original payment method.
  • Annual permits can't be partially refunded for a single quarter — a return cancels the remainder of the whole permit, and you'd need to rejoin the waitlist for that lot before returning to campus.
