Event Parking

Parking

Events, both on and off campus, play an important role in the achievement of the university's mission. Parking and Transportation Services ensures the success of these events by providing related parking arrangements.

  • Event: Any activity or series of activities held on UNCW property that requires the use of parking services or facilities beyond those normally provided. Events include but are not limited to theatrical performances, art exhibitions, concerts, athletic contests, fairs, festivals, conferences, parades, and workshops.
  • Visitor/Guest: Any person on the campus of UNCW who is not a student, faculty/staff, or vendor, or contractor.

Requests for Event Parking

To obtain the best possible parking for event guests and participants, please submit the Event Parking Request a minimum of one week prior to the event. 

Parking on the requested date may be limited due to space availability, other events at the same time, construction, etc. When multiple events are scheduled on the same date, priority is given to the event that finalizes arrangements with Parking & Transportation Services first.
