Resident Student Permits

Parking permits for students living in residence halls are limited and sold on a seniority/lottery basis. Resident permits are assigned on the basis of the applicant’s class standing: graduate students and seniors receive permits first, then juniors, etc. Upperclassmen (junior status or higher) will be awarded prime resident parking.  The first class (sophomores or freshmen) that does not have enough permits available to cover every applicant will go into the lottery.

Application materials for resident parking permits are emailed during the beginning of July each year to UW Oshkosh email addresses of students signed up through Residence Life. Applications must be received in our office by July 31, with a subsequent lottery drawing held during the beginning of August. The application material will include information that will explain the different permits and the requirements for submitting a request in order to be included in the permit lottery.

Students not drawn in the lottery will be notified of off-campus parking and alternative transportation options and will be placed on a waiting list. Anyone wishing to apply for a permit who has not received the emailed application by mid-July may contact our office at parking@uwosh.edu to request a permit.

Resident Parking Rates

Rates may be subject to change.

Multi-Vehicle Permits

Permits are never to be transferred or sold to another person.  Permit-holders have the option to add additional personal vehicles to the permit.  At no time are the primary and any secondary/subsequent vehicle(s) allowed to be used on campus at the same time.  Failure to comply with this regulation will result in a ticket for each vehicle.

Parking permits are fully digital – enforced via License Plate Recognition (LPR).  This means you will not receive any physical permit, because your license plate is your permit.  Therefore, it is the permit holder’s responsibility to maintain an accurate vehicle record.  If there is any need to change vehicle(s) associated with a permit, please email parking@uwosh.edu make the necessary changes.

Refunds

If you purchased an annual permit and will no longer be using it, you must contact the Parking Services office by email at parking@uwosh.edu to cancel your permit. We will prorate the permit based on the date we are notified via your email message of the permit cancellation.  We will process it for a refund, as appropriate.
