Visitor permits may be obtained at any one of the ten 'Pay & Display' stations located throughout campus. The cost for a daily permit is $5.00 for the day or $1.00 an hour up to a maximum of four hours. Visitors may park in student and visitor lots only for the day the permit is purchased.
OSU offers a special parking pass for parents called the "Proud Parent Card." The Proud Parent Card is free and valid for any 5 days, Monday through Friday. Weekends do not require a parking permit. A Proud Parent Card may be obtained at Transit & Parking Services Office in Adams Hall (606 SW 15th St. - south of the railroad tracks). Please note that the Proud Parent Card is intended for use by non-affiliated parents of current OSU students only. Students using a Proud Parent Card will be fined.
Paper permits should be displayed on the driver's side dash, visible to the outside. All reserved and timed spaces are enforced at all times unless otherwise posted. Parking is never allowed in a fire zone or a red/yellow curbed area.
Metered parking is available in several locations on campus. No permit is required for metered parking areas. Payment at metered spaces is required during posted hours.
Spaces reserved for the physically challenged require both an OSU visitor permit or Proud Parent Card and a valid DMV placard. With a valid DMV placard, any meter that has a limit of more than 30 minutes does not require payment. This policy is enforced at all times.
Special permits are available for more frequent visitors. Please go to Transit & Parking Services Office for assistance.
