With Ohio State's support and approval, we’d like to inform you of an upcoming update to the parking system.
What's changing
-
Beginning with the 2026-27 permit year that starts on August 1, parking permits will transition to one active license plate linked to your permit
-
Multiple license plates can still be stored on your parking account; however, one license plate can only be active on your permit when parking on campus
-
CampusParc will begin enforcing this operational change on the first day of the Spring semester on January 11, 2027
Why it matters:
-
This change improves transparency across our parking system, helps reduce citations issued in error, and ensures more accurate permit enforcement
What you need to do
-
The latest updates to the My Account dashboard make for an easy selection, addition or subtraction of license plates linked to your parking permit
-
If you currently have multiple vehicles on your permit, review your vehicle information prior to January 11, 2027, to ensure compliance with this new operational change
-
If you do not decide which license plate to remove, the license plate that was linked most recently will remain on the permit
-
-
If multiple plates were linked at the same time, the plate to remove will be randomly selected
-
Instructions to attach your vehicle to your permit:
