Vehicle Registration

All faculty, staff and students will be issued one

(1) General parking permits (hanger-style) free of charge. Faculty/Staff hanging permits may be purchased by full-time and part-time faculty/staff at the Fees and Deposits Office, Hopewell 136. Vehicles displaying A-Faculty or B-Staff permits may be parked on any Ohio State University campus in compliance with existing rules and regulations. COTC Faculty/Staff permits ARE NOT honored on any other Ohio State campus. Failure to park legally is a violation of Newark Campus regulations, as well as, the statutes of the State of Ohio. Violators are subject to citation and a fine not to exceed $55 per violation.

Matters pertaining to Newark Campus vehicle regulations are the responsibility of the Public Safety Department, Hopewell 122. The office is open 7:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday to obtain parking permits or information.

Motorcycles & Bicycles

Motorcycles and bicycles do not require parking permits.

Motorcyclists may park in a normal parking space or the yellow-lined corner areas, designated "Motorcycle Parking," of the Hopewell South lot. Please do not park motorcycles on or near loading docks or any other yellow-lined safety areas.

Bicycle racks are located on the sidewalk between Hopewell and Founders Halls and near the lobby entrance of LeFevre Hall and the patio of Adena Hall. When securing your bicycle, use U or O-shaped locks. They seem to work best in deterring bicycle theft. When parking, lock both rims and the frame to a bike rack to make the bike more secure. Use these bike racks and fencing. DO NOT secure bikes to trees, railings, or outside furniture. Keep walks and stairways unobstructed. Bringing bicycles into any facility or riding a bike on the amphitheater steps are violations of campus policy.

The Newark Campus prohibits riding bicycles on sidewalks even when a short cut across the campus is desired. Please keep bikes on the bike path and yield to all pedestrians.
