Reynolda Campus moves to License Plate Recognition to improve parking experience

A message from Communications and External Relations

Bottom line up front: License plates are replacing hang tags as Reynolda Campus parking permits. Faculty and staff need to log on to the WFU Faculty/Staff Parking Portal to verify and/or update information on vehicles being parked on campus.

License Plate Recognition (LPR) is an advanced parking technology that simplifies the parking permit process. The vehicle’s license plate becomes the parking permit.
