Parking Services

Notice: BGSU Parking Services' new virtual permit software is now live. You may access your parking account at bgsu.aimsparking.com or in your MyBGSU account by using the Manage Parking link.

All current permits, vehicles and citations are available in your parking account. Valid parking permits will remain active until their listed expiration date. If you need to purchase a parking permit, you can purchase one in your parking account.  

When you log into your parking account, you can now opt in to receive text messages. Opting in allows you to receive notifications about citations and permits, as well as important messages about your parking account. Once you opt in you can return to your portal to opt out if you no longer wish to receive updates.  

With this transition, BGSU Parking Services will now provide citation notifications by email only. Emails will be sent to the email listed on your parking account. A physical parking violation ticket will no longer be placed on your vehicle.     

In an effort to support you in this transition process, we will not require permits until 7 a.m. on Jan. 6. Pay to Park lots will still require payment during this time period. Parking in grass, drives, fire lanes, loading docks, reserved spaces and unauthorized ADA spaces is prohibited and will be enforced 24/7.  

If you have questions, please visit bgsu.edu/parking-services or email parking@bgsu.edu.

We are here to manage and coordinate all of BGSU's employee, student and guest parking needs. We strive to reduce parking congestion and improve pedestrian safety through the sale of permits, fair and consistent application of the parking regulations, and the promotion of our transportation system/shuttle services.

Attention Visitors: The PayByPhone mobile app is available as a contact-free payment option for visitor short term parking on the main campus. For more information, visit our Permits page and click on the Visitors tab.
