Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking isn’t considered to be a huge problem on campus for students. When you sign up for a parking permit, you are either assigned to North student parking or South student parking, which Security & Protective Services tries to assign depending on where you live on campus. So, even though you’re unlikely to find a parking spot right outside of your dorm, you won’t have to walk more than a block or two to get to your car.

You do have to be careful that you park in the correct lots and that you are not accidentally in a staff or handicapped spot. Security & Protective Services patrols campus and will give out parking tickets to anyone who is illegally parked. Some of the tickets can cost as much as you pay for a semester parking pass!

Parking Is Okay

If you need a parking permit, you can pretty much get one, and they aren't too expensive, but the parking lots aren't always conveniently placed. However, that is relative to the campus, which is pretty small compared to other schools, so it's really not terrible. You definitely don't need a car for campus or even if you need to get around town (there is a free shuttle), but it's nice to at least have a friend with a car for when you need to run to the store or get off campus for a break.

You Don't Really Need a Car on Campus

Parking for students is fairly accessible if needed but shuttles into town and other places are provided so the need for a car is not as extreme for someone who does not plan on driving to and from home.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

Parking passes are sold at Wooster on a first-come, first-served basis. Because permits are limited to the number of spaces on campus, students have to be quick if they want to reserve a permit. At the end of each spring semester, permits are sold at Security & Protective Services.

Did You Know? Students can appeal parking violations through the Parking Appeal Review Committee (PARC). The appeal must be filed by reporting to the Security & Protective Services office within five business days of the citation being issued.
