When it comes to parking on campus, there are several permit options to consider for each member of the university community. If you are new to the Columbus campus, the sheer variety of permits and the campus size can be a bit overwhelming when making the best decision for yourself. Below, we have broken down our annual permit offerings by customer profiles; please review the sections for more information.
If a yearly permit does not make sense for your schedule, hourly (through ParkMobile, parking meters or the Pay-and-Display machines), daily and monthly permits are available to anyone looking for a more flexible choice. We recommend creating and or logging into your parking account and utilizing the Permit Comparison Tool to review your permit options thoroughly. The university determines permit eligibility and shares that information with CampusParc.
Completed credit hours are a determining factor for permit eligibility. If you don't know how many credit hours you have completed, please access your advising report to confirm.
