Weekends are included in the 7 day period but are at no cost. Please read below to know where visitors can and cannot park.

Where to Park
Parking Lots - The Lyceum Circle and University Avenue just beyond the Welcome Center are designated visitor parking areas on campus. Visitors with current Visitor Permits may also park in any non-reserved valid parking space in the faculty/staff and/or commuter parking zones based on availability.
Metered Parking - There is also metered parking available at a rate of $1.75 per hour. See the campus map for metered parking locations. Visitors parking at metered locations are not required to purchase a permit but are required to pay for time while parked regardless of the presence of a parking pass.
Media
All media members should contact the University of Mississippi Public Relations Department in order to receive a temporary parking pass before arriving on campus.
Campus Recreation Members
Campus Recreation members who are not students, faculty/staff, or retirees may purchase a CR parking permit. Campus Recreation memberships do not include a parking permit. There is a request for parking permit form at the both CR facilities that is to be filled out with a CR Member Services Representative when purchasing the membership. You may also mail memberservices@olemiss.edu for a request for parking permit form.
In addition to a CR parking permit, metered spaces are located near the Turner Center and South Campus Rec Center if you wish to pay the hourly rate for the time used. Questions or concerns regarding parking must be brought directly to the attention of the Department of Parking and Transportation at 662-915-7235 or parking@olemiss.edu.
