The Ohio State University

Parking on Campus

Students will be able to park on campus as long as they have a valid parking permit. To obtain a quarterly or annual parking permit, incoming graduate students may register online at the OSU Transportation and Parking Services website at http://www.tp.osu.edu/EServices/index.shtml. Parking locations and permit prices are also available at this site. A valid OSU e-mail account is needed in order to complete the online registration for a parking permit.

Transportation Around Columbus and the OSU Campus

Students will have a fee of $9 included as part of their tuition in fees each quarter. That fee is used as part of an agreement with the Central Ohio Transit Authority (aka COTA) and allows students to ride the bus anywhere in the city of Columbus, free of charge, by showing your BuckID. OSU also has a local bus service (CABS) that runs throughout the campus that students are able to use to get to various destinations across the campus.
