Each year, Ohio University hosts thousands of visitors on its campus for sporting events, concerts, recreational activities and seminars. All vehicles on Ohio University's campus are required to display a University permit when parking within a parking lot (this does not include the Baker University garage).

The dark green lots require a parking permit Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. These lots are open parking areas all other times. The purple lots require a parking permit Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. These lots are open parking areas all other times.

At no time may a student use a visitor permit to park on campus. If caught, this could result in a $100 fine and a referral to judiciaries.

Visitors sometimes receive citations for violations of the University's Parking Regulations. If you, a visitor, received a citation while parked at Ohio University, please appeal your citation online by utilizing the online appeal form to request parking information and a waiver of your fine.
