Parking

With the exception of parking meters and pay stations, all parking on the UW Oshkosh campus is regulated by permit. Students who plan to have an automobile, motorcycle or moped on campus at any time should obtain the proper permit and a copy of the parking regulations from the Parking Services Office.

Normal business hours are 7:45 a.m.–4:30 p.m. weekdays, with extended hours during the first week of each semester.

• Parking permits for students living in residence halls are limited and sold on a seniority/lottery basis. Applications for resident parking permits are mailed out during the summer and are accepted until July 31 each year, with a subsequent lottery drawing held in early August. Students not selected in the lottery are placed on a waiting list and given off-campus parking options. Resident permits vary in price depending on the type (premium, regular, remote, etc.).

• Visitor and short-term permits are available for $2 per day at the Parking Services Office, the Visitor Information Booth, located in Lot 15 (across from Reeve Memorial Union) or at University Books & More in Reeve Union. Holders of visitor permits may park in any commuter lot or on the first level of the parking ramp, located on the corner of High and Osceola Streets. A visitor permit is valid 6 a.m.–midnight, Monday–Thursday and 6 a.m.–4:30 p.m. Friday.
• Overnight parking for visitors is available on the first level of the parking ramp either by using the pay by space machines or by permit, available in the Parking Office or Information Booth. Visitors do not need permits from 4:30 p.m. Friday–6 a.m. Mondays; however, parking in reserved or restricted areas is prohibited.
