OU Students: Find Out Where to Park This Semester

Students heading to Oakland University this fall can familiarize themselves with the campus parking map and parking regulations on campus. The university has provided some information to help ensure students make it to class on time and avoid pesky parking citations.

  • View the most recent campus parking map to familiarize yourself with parking lot designations and Bear Bus routes. 
  • View the campus map to get information about campus buildings and other destinations. 
  • Review the campus parking website at oakland.edu/parking for the most up to date information on parking, as well as enforcement of parking and driving regulations. The OUPD will enforce traffic and parking regulations, including issuing citations for handicapped and non-designated parking violations and illegal U-turns.
  • Review the Bear Bus website at oakland.edu/bearbus for route and schedule updates.
According to the university, lighted temporary parking lots have been created at the following locations:
  • West side of the Upper Fields adjacent to P-11
  • South of P-41 near the Police and Support Services building
  • West of P-37 near the corner of Pioneer Drive and Squirrel Road.
Overnight parking will be reserved in:
  • P-5, P-11 (including the temporary Upper Fields expansion) and P-16 lots
  • Ann V. Nicholson Student Apartments 
  • Matthews Court lots 
  • All covered spaces of the P-29 parking structure.
Two new buses also have been added to the Bear Bus system, resulting in a total of six vehicles.
