Parking on Campus
Get Your Permit
All students, faculty, and staff who park on campus are required to purchase a parking pass through Oglethorpe University Campus Safety. You will need your car’s license plate number and insurance information for registration. Parking passes are distributed based on availability and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Passes can be picked up the university mailroom when they are ready. Enforcement begins one week after the start of classes each term.

Parking, Driving and Vehicle Registration Policies and Regulations are in the University Bulletin.
- Park in your assigned area and always display your permit. See the parking map to make sure you’re parking in the correct lot.
- Parking is permitted in designated parking spaces only. No parking is allowed on sidewalks, grass, campus roadways which are posted fire lanes or along yellow painted curbs.
- Students may not park in the driveway between Bowden Magbee Hall and Alumni/Jacobs. This is a fire lane and opened only for specific hours designated in August & May for move in, move-out with flashers on.
- Walk as much as you are able and limit your driving between buildings
- Vehicles that are improperly parked or do not have a permit may be booted or towed away at the owner’s expense. Towing is done under provisions of the Georgia Code. Booting of vehicles is a prerogative of the Department of Campus Safety.
