Student Parking
For parking purposes, student classification is determined by the number of hours recorded on the student’s official College of the Ozarks transcript (and in the case of freshmen, by the number of semesters attended). Once earned hours are recorded on the student’s C of O transcript, then the student is eligible to request a classification change.
Freshmen Status: Students living on campus who have completed less than two semesters as a full-time student, regardless of the number of hours completed. Freshmen students will be issued a green sticker.
Sophomore Status: Students living on campus with between 31-60 semester hours. Sophomore students will be issued a yellow sticker.
Junior and Senior Status: Students living on campus who have 61 or more semester hours. Junior and senior students will be issued a silver sticker.
Commuter Students: Students who do not live in the residence halls on campus are considered commuter students, regardless of the number of semester hours enrolled. Children of faculty and staff who are commuting students at C of O must register their vehicles and observe regulations governing commuting students. Commuter students will be issued a purple sticker.
Faculty and Staff: Employees of the College will be issued a white hangtag, which is issued to the employee and cannot be transferred to a student.
Weekend Parking Hours/Summer Parking Hours
Weekend Parking Hours: Noon on Friday to 1:00 a.m. Monday morning.
Summer and Break Parking Hours: Students can park in any student lot. Freshmen and Sophomores are not confined to their lots. Summer hours begin the last day of finals and end on the Sunday before classes begin. Certain holidays and designated school breaks may warrant weekend parking.
