Parking

Oxford College provides accessible parking throughout campus. These spaces are located in proximity to other barrier free access routes, including ramps and automatic doors, and are reserved exclusively for properly tagged vehicles. It is the sole responsibility of the vehicle operator to apply for and obtain an accessible permit from the agency with which they obtained their vehicle tag.

Faculty, staff, or students at Oxford College that need accommodations must meet the eligibility criteria, submit valid documentation criteria, and complete a registration process in its entirety.  This includes a self-disclosure medical condition submitted to the Emory Office of Accessibility Services. In some cases multiple contacts with other key people and resources may be needed in order to develop a successful workplace accommodation agreement.

Oxford students with accessibility needs should refer to Oxford's Department of Accessibility Services (DAS) page. 

Oxford faculty and staff with accessibility needs should refer to Oxford's Department of Accessibility Services (DAS) page. 

Before filing an official appeal, students should visit the Parking Office to talk to a staff member about their citation.  In many cases, a student's first citation will be waived without the need for further review.

Anyone wanting to appeal a citation should submit their request to oxford.transportation@emory.edu within seven calendar days of issuance of a ticket. 

Appeals submitted more than seven calendar days from the ticket's issue date will not be considered and will be discarded. 

Appeals may be made only by those individuals who have properly registered for parking privileges at Oxford College. 

Official Appeals will be considered, and decisions rendered by, an impartial Parking Appeals Committee.

• Submission of a digital photo or diagram regarding the parking space you are appealing a ticket about is highly recommended in support of your appeal. 
• The Parking Appeals Committee is composed of one faculty member, one staff member, and one student. The members of this committee are not disclosed and change from year to year.
• Only one person from each category will be allowed to cast a vote on matters of guilt or innocence.
• Parking and Transportation staff are not included on this committee and have no say regarding the outcome of an appeal.
• Decisions of the Parking Appeals Committee are final.

Decisions of not guilty will result in a credit to the student's OPUS account or a refund issued to the faculty or staff member.

• All credits/refunds are processed by the Financial Services Office located in Seney Hall, Room 107. 

As a matter of policy, the Parking Appeals Committee does not accept the following as grounds for appeal:

• lack of knowledge of rules and regulations;
• appointment conflicts or lateness for class;
• inclement weather; or
• inability to locate an authorized parking space.

There are two ChargePoint EV charging stations available on campus which are located in the Fleming lot just past the Oxford Transportation hub and facing Pierce St.

You must have a ChargePoint account to use these stations.

Students

Apply for a Student Parking Permit 

Parking on campus is extremely limited. Therefore, students should: 1) apply for a parking permit, and then, 2) actually confirm that a parking permit has been reserved in their name prior to bringing a vehicle on campus. Failure to do so will result in parking violations being issued and the removal of the vehicle from campus.

Student Registration: Oxford student parking permit fee is $125.00 per semester, prior to June 15 and December 1, respectively.  Permit prices are increased after these dates. Students must register for their parking permit online for one or both semesters. The deadline for parking permit registration for fall and spring is June 15 and December 1, respectively. Registration after these dates will be considered late and a $25.00 late registration fee will be applied to the parking permit fee. The parking permit fee will be billed per semester and included in the pre-term registration bill. A prorated refund will be applicable to all students who cancel their registration through the seventh calendar day after the first day of classes. Refunds will be calculated based on the college tuition refund policy and the schedule for tuition forfeitures. Parking permits will be issued to new students during first-year orientation inside the Library. Returning students will be emailed about where to pick up their parking permits once they arrive on campus.

Parking availability is limited. Returning students are always notified by email to pre-register in May of each academic year for the following fall semester and Enrollment will notify new students to register before June 15 as well. Returning students who fail to pre-register their vehicles will be approved on a first-come, first served basis. 

Faculty & Staff

Faculty and staff can register here. Only one hangtag will be issued to each faculty or staff member.

Lost, Stolen, Or Damaged Parking Permits

The permit replacement fee is $20.00, and for students, it will be assessed to the student account. Faculty and staff may pay the replacement fee at the Financial Services cashier window, Seney Hall Room 107, after filing a police report. Once a police report has been filed, please call (404) 991-1781 or email oxford.transportation@emory.edu to make arrangements to receive a replacement permit.

Oxford College students that receive five or more parking citations per semester are considered repeat offenders and may be referred to Campus Life. Those alleged to have excessive parking citations on campus are subject to the college disciplinary process where sanctions include, but are not limited to, revocation of parking privileges on the Oxford College campus.

Oxford College expects all members of the community to address fines according to the guidelines outlined in this document and in a timely manner. Individuals with outstanding fines will not be allowed to purchase or renew permits/passes. Outstanding fines may also result in immobilization of vehicle.  Parking on the Oxford campus is either designated for visitors or requires the display of a valid permit. The parking system at Oxford College is designed to protect the parking privileges of the permit holders and visitors. The Oxford community is best served when all users of campus parking follow the published guidelines and regulations. 

Parking regulations are subject to change. Parking configurations may change with campus improvements or modifications. Acceptance of a parking permit attests to an understanding by the permit holder of all traffic and parking regulations and a consensual agreement and responsibility to adhere to the same. 

• Registration does not guarantee the availability of a parking space. Inability to locate a legal parking space is not an acceptable excuse for violation of these regulations. 
• Theft of a hangtag, use of a stolen hangtag, the falsification of information to obtain a hangtag, and forging a hangtag are all criminal offenses. Those violating this policy are subject to prosecution and administrative sanctions by Oxford College.
