Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Parking at Miami University is not complicated. It is not, by any means, convenient, but it is not complicated. It costs $50 to keep your car at the stadium lot, which is far from most resident halls, and $300 a semester if you want to park in the parking structure located on south campus. Parking is allowed anywhere after 4 p.m. on weekdays and is permitted on weekends.

Although finding a parking spot is sometimes hard, it will usually be no more than a three-minute walk from wherever your final destination is. Police do patrol parking areas well though, so if you break the rules, you will undoubtedly get an extremely high parking ticket. The good thing is it goes immediately to your student account so you don't need to deal with sending it in.

Parking on Campus

I do not have a car since I am a freshman, so I cannot thoroughly explain or credit the parking of the school. There really is no need for a car unless one goes home often. Everything is pretty much within walking distance.

Garages, but No Street Parking

There are plenty of spots in the big parking garages but finding a spot on the street is virtually impossible without the right (and expensive) parking pass.

No Car Needed

The set up of Miami's campus and the transportation system makes it so a car especially for a freshman is not necessary. Campus buses take students to both of the local shopping centers. The only place that can be hard to get to is Walmart which is to far to walk from campus. Walking uptown is easy from anywhere on or off campus because Oxford is so small.

Facts

Getting a Parking Permit

Students living on campus are eligible for a yellow permit, upperclassman students on campus can get a blue permit, and students living off campus are eligible for purple permits. Yellow and purple permits allow drivers to park at Ditmer all day, Millet in the daytime, and on campus from 4 p.m. to 7 a.m., while Saturday and Sunday parking is available all day. Blue permits allow for parking in non-restricted areas and at red permit areas from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Green permits allow for parking at designated green areas, as well as areas for blue permits.

Did You Know?

Best Places to Find a Parking Spot:

  • Ditmer lot
  • Millett lot

Good Luck Getting a Parking Spot Here:

  • During the week, you can park most places on campus after 4 p.m. if your car is registered with the University (pay attention to the color-coded signs).
  • If you want to try and sneak around without a parking permit, most places on campus are free after 7 p.m. However, you need to move your car before 7 a.m. the next morning.
  • On the weekends, you can park nearly anywhere on campus but be aware that everyone else will want to do the same thing.
