Disabled Guests

Upon entering campus at any gatehouse, a visitor who is mobility impaired should self-identify in order to be accommodated. Visitors will be assigned parking in a "disabled" area as close to the SCC as possible. There are several disabled parking spots on the top two levels of S-1, the parking area closest to the SCC. Parking permits for disabled and wheelchair areas cost the same as for other UW parking areas.

Vehicles parked illegally are subject to citation or towing.

There is an entrance to the second floor west end of South Campus Center from the mid-level of the garage. These entrances do not have stairs. Access from the lower level of the garage is by stairway.
