Where to Park:
Students who choose to park a vehicle at any WVSU location are required to have a parking permit displayed on the vehicle (lower right side of the front windshield) at all times including evenings. With a parking permit, students can park in any general use white lined lots/spaces.

Temporary Parking Pass:
If a student has a current parking permit, but is unable to drive the vehicle that the parking permit sticker is attached to, they can get a temporary pass for the rental or other vehicle they are temporarily driving.  Temporary passes can be issued for up to 5 days.  These temporary passes are available in the Parking and ID office at no charge. 

Visitor Parking Pass:  
Visitor parking permits are issued to guests requiring campus access and parking.  A permit can be obtained at the WVSU Visitor Center (located next to the Ferrell House) on Barron Drive. Visitor parking permits must be displayed on the dashboard while the vehicle is on campus, therefore you should return to your vehicle and display the parking pass accordingly.   

Fines:  
WVSU is a permit parking only campus.  As such, if a parking permit is not properly displayed on the vehicle, a ticket will be issued.  The fee structure is as follows:

• $15  Per parking citation (Handicap parking citations are $100 per violation.)
• $15 “Boot Fee" (WVSU Department of Public Safety will boot vehicles if unpaid parking tickets exceed $100 or more) 

The penalties of a parking violation applies to all students, staff, faculty, and visitors. No exceptions.
 

Appeals Process:
If anyone receives a parking citation and feels it is in error, they have the option of appealing the citation to the Parking and Appeals Committee for resolution.  To appeal a parking citation, it must be within 30 days of the violation, and all appeals must be filed online through the Campus Safety link.  If anyone has questions concerning the appeals process, he/she may email reginald.patterson@wvstateu.edu.

A student who officially withdraws from the University (i.e., drops all classes) through the Office of Registration and Records or is administratively withdrawn from the University prior to completing 50 percent of a semester is entitled to a partial refund of that semester's tuition/fees. 

The date of withdrawal is the actual date the student notifies the Office of Registration of withdrawal or the midpoint (50 percent point) of the semester for a student who leaves without notifying the institution.
 
The institutional refund schedule is as follows:

• A student is entitled to a one hundred percent (100%) refund of the charges up to the extended add/drop date specified on the academic calendar.
• A student who begins a term and withdraws after completing up to ten percent (10%) of the term is entitled to a refund of ninety percent (90%) of the charges.
• A student who withdraws after completing ten percent (10%) through twenty-five percent (25%) of the term is entitled to a refund of fifty percent (50%) of the charges.
• A student who withdraws after completing more than fifty percent (50%) of the term is not entitled to a refund.

This refund policy applies to all charges including tuition and fees, dining, and housing charges.


Any student who withdraws at any point during the semester is advised to consult with the Cashier's Office to determine whether there is a balance owed or a refund due. 

Note: Once classes begin, there is no refund for a reduced schedule.  The refund policy applies only when a student officially withdraws from ALL classes.

For a student receiving federal financial aid who withdraws before completion of 60 percent of the semester, the amount of federal financial aid earned will be calculated to the day according to the federal financial aid refund guidelines.  Unearned financial aid must be returned. When aid is returned, the student may owe a balance to the University, to the US Department of Education, or to both.  Any student receiving federal financial assistance should contact the Office of Student Financial Assistance before withdrawing from college or reducing the number of hours enrolled to determine the impact of these actions on his or her financial aid status.
