Parking can be a little confusing for new students on campus. The key to figuring out parking is to read the signs and match the permit required for each parking lot.
If you do miss some signs and get a ticket, appeal the ticket. The parking office won’t make you pay the ticket if you have a good reason as to why you got the ticket, such as a first time offense or a minor mistake. Also, all it takes to appeal parking tickets is to submit a short written statement online.
Getting a parking permit
Parking permits for this year are valid from Aug. 15 to May 15.
Permits went on sale July 1 and are available for purchase online at the parking office’s website or the parking office in Robertson Hall. Students can pick up their permits at Robertson Hall or have the permits mailed to them.
No permit
Students without permits can park on the north central side of the Lloyd Noble Center and ride the Cleveland Area Rapid Transit bus to the South Oval.
The Lloyd Noble Center parking lot has more than 1,200 spaces.
To ride the CART, you need a sticker, which students can get for free at the Sooner OneCard office.
Where to park
Multi-purpose parking lots are open to anyone with a permit.
Students with housing parking permits can park in designated lots outside of residence halls, parking garages and most faculty parking lots from 4 p.m.-7 a.m.
Students with commuter parking permits can park in East Jenkins lots, Campus Corner lots north of Boyd, parking garages and most faculty parking lots from 4 p.m.-7 a.m.
Students with priority housing parking permits can park in lots immediately surrounding residence halls.
Students with Sooner housing parking permits can park in the lot east of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.
Students with commuter law parking permits have a designated parking area adjacent to the law school.
Parking garages

• One is on Elm Street, next to Catlett Music Center. It has 576 spaces.
• One is on Asp Street, next to the Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. It has 724 spaces.
