| Q: When I get to campus, where can I park? |
A: Parking on most university campuses is a challenge. Ohio University is no exception. Parking in University lots during the day requires a parking pass. If you are attending a career fair or are on campus to interview students, a parking pass will be sent to you prior to your campus visit. A parking map will accompany your parking pass. An alternative is to park in the Athens City Parking Garage. This garage offers metered parking with 10-hour limits (upper levels). Employers may purchase a pre-paid parking card through the City of Athens. Employers are responsible for paying all parking violations.
