Overnight and Long-Term Parking on Campus

Published: August 13, 2021

College of Western Idaho (CWI) provides free parking for students, staff, faculty, and guests for college-related events and business. According to CWI's Operations Policy, campus property exists to serve primarily the educational mission of the College. Activities occurring on campus property must be an appropriate use of that space at all times.

In order to maintain adequate parking space in campus parking lots for authorized individuals, unauthorized vehicles will be ticketed and face possible physical removal. Therefore, when the need arises for you to park your car in a CWI parking lot overnight or for an extended period, please notify Campus Security at security@cwi.edu. In the email give your name, make, model, and color of the vehicle as well as the license plate number. This way, CWI security personnel will be able to identify your vehicle as being authorized. 

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Contact Security Director, Jim Ellington, at jimellington@cwi.edu with questions.
