Summer Parking at Ole Miss


Finding a parking spot at The University of Mississippi without getting a ticket requires a bit of effort. Parking is often cited as a main complaint from students at Ole Miss. During the fall and spring semesters, students are relegated to their designated parking areas. These areas are assigned according to the location of each driver's housing arrangement. Students who live off campus are required to park in commuter lots. However, during Summer school and Inter-sessions, students are allowed to park in any student area. This eases the burden for students, but the change can cause some confusion. Linda Christian, Director of University Parking Services, said some students are not aware of the rules and think they can just park anywhere. "It is only after they get a ticket or when they get e-mails from us that they realize they were wrong," she said. Students are still not allowed to park in Faculty/Staff parking areas, fire lanes, or handicap spaces. The Circle is also off-limits for parking, except to visitors or handicap vehicles. Students must have a current decal on their vehicle at all times in order to avoid receiving a ticket when parked in student areas. For more information about where these areas are located, check out the Ole Miss Parking Map.
