Fall Parking Permits: What You Need to Know

Hello Faculty/Staff Permit Holder, 

Welcome to the start of a new semester. Standard Faculty/Staff Permit holders may park in any Faculty/Staff Lots or spaces on both campuses. Faculty/Staff that have Economy or Shuttle permits must park in their permitted area only.

For off-campus visitors without a KSU parking permit, please direct them to the hourly paid parking lots, formerly known as visitor parking. All hourly paid parking areas are marked with a green “V” on the parking maps. 

Please review our parking maps to help guide you to your correct parking area(s).

Plan Ahead

 

View the new Early Semester Parking Guide webpage to review enrollment patterns, plan for the busiest times on campus, and read helpful tips for avoiding citations and navigating campus more efficiently.  

Below are some key tips to keep in mind before traveling to campus: 

  • Traffic is typically the heaviest during the first few weeks of the semester and decreases as the semester progresses.
  • Tuesdays and Thursdays are the busiest class days on both campuses, with the number of students in class typically peaking between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
  • Frey Road and the parking decks can be especially busy during peak times, so plan to give yourself a little extra time if you need to drive during these periods.

How to Avoid Citations

 

To improve parking access and ensure parking availability for permit holders, KSU has updated its enforcement policies. Enforcement will begin the first week of the semester.  

Vehicles with repeated parking violations may be booted (immobilized) or towed at the owner’s expense. If you receive a citation for a parking violation, it will be sent to your KSUMail. 

Most citations incur a $50 fine, but the most common citations are easy to avoid: 

  • Park in your permitted area only. 
  • Your license plate must be visible from the drive lane. Don’t back in or pull through parking spaces. 

For a list of violation types and citation costs, visit our webpage.

Big Owl Bus and CobbLinc 

 

Faculty and staff are encouraged to ride the Big Owl Bus for traveling between and around both campuses. Make sure to download our Bus Tracker app, Passio GO! for real-time tracking on all Big Owl Bus routes and arrival times. 

Visit the Big Owl Bus webpage for more information on routes.

ADA Spaces

 

Only individuals with a state-issued ADA placard or license plate are authorized to park in ADA-designated parking spaces on campus. Vehicles parked in ADA-accessible spaces must clearly display a valid state-issued Disabled Persons Parking placard or license plate and may park in any ADA designated space on campus.
