Permits Overview

Parking Services recognize the need to access flexible permit options to meet the parking needs of all Faculty, Staff, Students, and Visitors.  BGSU is a campus that offers transportation options to connect with campus and local destinations while also remaining a pedestrian and bike friendly campus. 

Employee and Permit options are designed to provide options throughout the year.  Anyone parking on campus is required to have a parking permit and register vehicles to the parking permit. Any vehicle without a parking permit will may be ticketed.  

Purchasing a permit does not guarantee a convenient parking space will be available on arrival. Each person is responsible for finding a parking space where available based on the permit purchased.
