  • Parking Students who are driving motor vehicles have a 48 hour grace period, beginning from the first regular day of classes, to register their cars for on-campus parking. Tickets will not be written for lack of registration, although tickets will be given out for illegal parking on sidewalks, in the grass, in faculty parking lots, and the use of expired stickers. According to the WCU Traffic and Security Office, located in room 131 of the administration building, students may register their cars diring business hours, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., at the office. There will also be a representative of the office at the University Center all day on registration day. All motorcycles must be parked in motorcycle spaces, but mopeds and bicycles that do not have a state license plate do not need stickers. As a safeguard against theft, campus security has an engraving tool that is available for use, and registration of bicycles and mopeds for identification purposes is free. There are bicycle racks located on various parts for campus for student use. The racks are located at all residence halls as well as McKee, Reid Gym, Stillwell, the Music-English Building.

Along with the aforementioned services, the University Center offers a score more of services for the faculty, student and staff at WCU. Financial Aid There has been a definite cut-back in finanacial assistance this school year, much to the chagrin of all college students. The sad part is that there has also been an increase in tuition, room, and board. Thus, while the cost of getting a college education is on the rise, funds for helping students meet these costs is declining. The main reason for these cuts in financial aid is due to a cut-back in • federal funds to state-supported institutions-part of President Reagan's plan to reduce government spending and balance the federal budget. Nearly all guaranteed student loans, including College Foundation, Inc. are experiencing tremendous reduction, and an approximate 25% decrease in campus- based funds has occured. One example of student aid is work study. Students who have previously applied should check with the financial aid office on campus to find out if their particular aid has been cut. It is estimated that 3,000 students have applied for 8 Fall Special Edition
