Residential Parking

General Information

These regulations apply to students who live in campus housing and desire to operate or park a vehicle on university property. Any vehicle parked on the university grounds must display a permit, regardless of who operates the vehicle. The purpose of these regulations is to reduce traffic congestion, facilitate orderly parking, and to provide revenue for maintaining and improving existing lots, and developing new facilities. It is necessary and desirable to make and enforce these regulations for the safety and welfare of students, faculty/staff members, and visitors of the university.

Resident Parking

Students who live on campus are eligible to purchase a resident permit for areas associated with their dormitories. There are three types of residential permits: General Resident, University Village Apartments, and Quad Housing.

The campus housing is:

1. Rogers Hall
2. Rogers Hall Annex
3. Nusbaum Apts. (A, B, C)
4. Gresham Hall
5. Gresham Hall Annex
6. University Village Apts. I, II, & III (Restricted parking: see below)
7. Monarch House
8. Powhatan Apts. I & II
9. Whitehurst Hall
10. Quad Housing (Ireland, Virginia, Scotland, England, France, Dominion)
11. Foundation House
12. ODU Inn
13. Parker House

Enforcement

All parking on campus is decal controlled; every vehicle must have a valid pass or decal displayed. Parking spaces are defined by three lines and/or curb stops; vehicles parked in other than a defined space will be issued a parking citation. Parking regulations are enforced every day and night except between 4 p.m. on Friday through midnight Sunday and on university holidays (spring and semester breaks are not considered as university holidays).
