Incoming Freshmen Resident students are allowed to park their cars on campus after purchasing a valid ODU parking permit.
Resident Student parking locations are enforced 24 hours per day, seven days per week, year-round for permits. Only one vehicle can be registered to a residential permit at any time.
Students should not bring cars to Norfolk with the assumption that they can be parked on the streets or public areas of our neighboring communities to try and avoid purchasing a parking permit. ODU works with its neighbors to reduce traffic flow and parking in nearby off-campus neighborhoods, and students are expected to help ODU be a good neighbor.
