Waitlist Management

Waitlist Management

Once all parking permits have been claimed individuals have the option to join a waitlist for a lot or permit type of interest. Individuals have the ability to be on the waiting list for one permit type at any given time. Permits become available to those on the waiting list as they are returned by other users or if more would become available for some reason. At the time of joining a waitlist the individual will be given a number for their position in line for the next available permit. Once you have joined the virtual line your position is secured and will lower as permits are claimed or other individuals leave the waiting list for that particular permit. 

Please follow the below steps if you would like to add yourself to a waitlist for a campus parking permit. You will need your OHIO ID and password and current vehicle information to complete this process.
