Note that the names of parking areas on the Marietta Campus have changed, so please review the map above before selecting your parking area.

    Please note that students who choose a Fall/Spring 2024-25 Permit will be charged the permit amount times two semesters (fall/spring). Students who choose a single semester permit will be charged the value of the permit they select for one semester only (Fall 2024, Spring 2025, Summer 2025). The charge will appear on Owl Express the day after completing your permit selection.

    If you plan to attend classes in the fall and spring semesters, we recommend purchasing a Fall/Spring 2024-25 permit to secure your preferred parking area for the fall and spring semesters.

    If you only plan to attend classes for a single semester, we recommend selecting a single semester permit. It's important to note that your permit will not renew. If you return to campus for the next semester, you will need to pick a new permit from the parking areas available once the permits are released each semester.

    Your vehicle鈥檚 license plate serves as your virtual parking permit; therefore, once you have selected a permit, you need to keep your license plate information for any vehicle that you plan to drive to campus current in your account. There are no physical parking permit decals.
