Yes. A Miami parking permit is required to park in any campus parking lot at all times including evenings, weekends and holidays. Visit our Permits Page to learn more about options and prices.  Maple Street and Oak Street do not require permits in evenings and weekends.

Miami has three very large parking lots on the perimeter of campus for ºÚÁÏÉçÇøs, faculty and staff to park in. They are Millett, Ditmer and Chestnut Fields. Student permits allow for 24 hour parking in these lots. Lots in the campus core with signs saying “Red permits only 7 am to 6 pm Mon-Fri.” are reserved for visitors, faculty and staff during school hours however in the evenings and weekends cars bearing white, yellow or blue ºÚÁÏÉçÇø permits may park in these lots (but must be moved by 7 am on weekdays).  Visit our Parking Areas page to learn more about specific parking areas on campus.

Students needing to load or unload in front of their hall may request to do so 4 times per semester if they have a current permit. We call this our "Login Procedure." Just pull into a legal parking space near your hall and email (parking@miamioh.edu) or call (513-529-2224) our office.  You'll need to tell us your name, make & model of car and location. You will then have 20 minutes to load/unload. If you receive a ticket during that time just call us with the ticket number and tell us you were “logged in” at the time and we will cancel the ticket.

There are very few meters on campus, they are intended for visitors and they are often occupied. However we have two garages you may park in without a permit.
