| Parking Permits are Available |
|
| Parking permits for the 2025-2026 academic year are now available. Each faculty and staff member is allowed one complimentary permit and may register up to two vehicles to the permit. As a reminder, permits must be renewed annually. |
| Employees should order their permit online by visiting W&L My Apps dashboard and clicking on the iParq Parking app. Once logged in, click on "Buy Permits." Select "Add Item" under Pre-Approved Faculty Staff Permit 2025-2026. Vehicle changes can be made at any time using your iParq account. |
| If this is your first time registering your vehicle for a W&L parking permit, or you have a new vehicle, you will need to enter the following information to your iParq account: license plate state and number, as well as the vehicle's year, make, model and color. Upon completion of your online registration, your permit will be held by the Office of Public Safety (255 E. Denny Circle) for pick up. If you would like your permit to be sent via interoffice mail to your work location, please ensure your work location is updated in the iParq system and notify Public Safety of your preference via email parking@wlu.edu. |

| Review Your Payslip This Month |
|
| Due to salary and benefit premium changes in July, we strongly encourage you to review your Payslip in Workday. |
- Monthly paid employees should review their July 31 payslip.
- Bi-weekly paid employees should review their July 18 payslip. (The July 18 payday was for the pay period that began Saturday, June 28. Hours worked prior to July 1 were paid at the former hourly rate.)
|
| To access payslips in Workday, go to Menu > Benefits and Pay > Payments (under Pay) and scroll down to my payslips and click view next to the July 18 or July 31 payslip. |
