Beginning Sept. 30, current University Housing & Dining Services residents have the chance to designate their parking permit as a “Resident” permit with UHDS and Transit & Parking Services (TAPS).
Spaces in three newly designated “R” lots near residence hall communities will only be available to the first 400 residents that purchase OSU parking permits and present proof of purchase at the UHDS Central Office.
Only 400 permits will be approved to ensure that students have full-time access to the 400 resident-only parking spaces at three newly designated “R” lots located near OSU residential complexes on the east, west and south side of campus.
Residents that purchase “R” parking permits and use these parking lot locations will receive a one-time $50 dining card useable in all UHDS dining facilities.
Users of these lots will not be required to move their vehicles for OSU athletic events. Once a permit is designated with an “R” it can only be used in “R” lots during campus hours.
The details
- Resident lot spaces become available Monday Sept. 30 until all 400 designated permits have been claimed.
- Only annual permit holders will be eligible to participate in the promotion and receive the $50 dining card.
- After purchasing a permit, resident must bring their permit to UHDS, where the permit will be “punched” with a unique symbol. Only resident lot permit holders will be allowed to park in “R” lots.
“R” Lots
- West Campus: A gravel lot located east of the National Forage Seed Research Center and west of OSU Motor Pool.
- South Campus: Fifth floor of the parking garage located adjacent the OSU Beaver Store.
- East Campus: Paved lot located at corner of 11th Street and Washington Way.

As you are getting ready to arrive at Oregon State University, we wanted to send you some resources and reminders.
We look forward to helping you move-in Sept. 24-25. Before you arrive we encourage you to watch the welcome video, read our move-in guide, and check MyUHDS for your arrival date and time. If you have additional questions, please email the housing assignments office at housing@oregonstate.edu. There is a fair amount of construction on our west side of campus with the Austin Hall project and on our east side of campus with the construction of our New Student Residence. Both of these facilities are set to open in Fall 2014. Thank you for your patience, as you find your way to your building, where our staff and our volunteers will be happy to help you unload your car.
After you get settled, we hope you will join us at the New Student Picnic at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 26, in the Memorial Union quad. It’s a great way to meet and mingle with hundreds or your new campus neighbors. Tickets are $7 and can be billed to your OSU dining plan. Use this online reservation form to reserve your ticket. Additionally, check out the full schedule of events and activities that take place throughout CONNECT at connect.oregonstate.edu.
Have a great rest of your summer and we look forward to seeing you next week!
Special notes for south side residents (Bloss, Finley, Halsell and ILLC):
Your mailbox for the year can be seen when you check MyUHDS. In years past mailboxes were tied to room locations but all of our system now has a four digit number for mailboxes. More information on how to address mail to your new address can be found here: http://oregonstate.edu/uhds/service-centers.
We discovered some discrepancies of information around bunks kits for Bloss and Finley Halls on our website. Please know that we do not provide any loft or bunk kit materials for the beds in these buildings. If you want to raise your bed you can purchase bed risers and if you would like to loft your bed you can build your own kit per the specifications we describe here: http://oregonstate.edu/uhds/loft-kits. Sorry for any inconvenience this misinformation caused you.
