Parking Regulations
Effective Aug. 1, 2019
The policies and regulations included throughout this website have been approved by the Chancellor and reviewed by the Parking Advisory Committee, which is comprised of faculty, staff and student representatives from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh campus.
Authority to establish regulations governing motor vehicle use on campus for visitors, employees and students is derived from Wisconsin Statutes. These rules are enacted pursuant to the authority granted the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System under Section 36.11 (8)(a) and (b) and (8e) of state statutes and, in turn, granted to the Chancellor by the Board of Regents.
All Wisconsin motor vehicle laws are applicable to the same extent as though this campus and its streets are public highways.
Minor modifications in lot assignments and parking regulations to accommodate unforeseen circumstances or special events may be made during the year. Every effort will be made to provide ample notice of any such notification to the University community.
Snow plowing in lots may temporarily occupy some parking spaces.
Who needs a University Parking Permit?
- Parking regulations are enforced year-round, even when classes are not in session.
- If your vehicle is unattended, it is parked.
- Using your vehicle’s hazard lights does not excuse illegal parking.
Enforcement
Enforcement is 24 hours a day from 6 a.m. on Monday through 4 p.m. on Friday. Other than weekend times from 4 p.m. on Friday through 6 a.m. on Monday when parking is free in any legal, non-reserved space, all other permit and meter regulations are enforced as follows:
Monday-Thursday: 6 a.m. – midnight*
Friday: 6 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
*All employee/commuter/visitor lots are closed midnight – 6 a.m. Vehicles parked during these times are subject to closed lot tickets.
Parking is not permitted in non-resident lots midnight-6 a.m. or on city streets 2-5 a.m.
Any permit that is not properly displayed may result in a ticket.
Violations for parking in employee/commuter/visitor lots after midnight are always strictly enforced.
During a snow emergency, vehicles parked in any commuter/employee/visitor lot after midnight, or any lot designated as a closed lot may be ticketed and towed to allow snow removal.
Repeat offenders are subject to doubling of fine values.
