Parking Services

All BW students are required to have a campus parking permit.

You must apply for a parking permit. Parking services are provided through BW Safety and Security. Baldwin Wallace has numerous parking lots on campus, but a parking permit does not guarantee availability of a parking space in the immediate vicinity of your residency, class, office or workplace. The responsibility for finding a permissible parking space lies with the student, and inability to find a permitted space will not be accepted as justification for violating any of the enforced parking regulations.

Accessible Parking

Accessible parking spaces are reserved close to access ramps and building entrances. BW students and employees may use state-issued handicap permits or University-issued temporary handicap permits in conjunction with BW parking permits only. The University verifies registered owners of University and state-issued handicap permits and requires a copy of the registration paperwork provided by the BMV to all state handicap permit owners. All permits, including handicap permits, are valid only for the individual use of the registered owner.

Guests of students may park in student lots without a parking permit.

Any citations they receive must be turned into our office by the BW student.
Citations not turned in may result in the vehicle being immobilized.
BW reserves the right to limit guest parking during peak class times.

Automatic Sanction

Parking permits, including accessible permits, are nontransferable. Any person who provides false information, registers a vehicle belonging to another student, illegally sells, transfers, alters, reproduces, or uses a permit not intended for his/her use may be subject to a fine and disciplinary action as well as possible towing. This could also result in loss of parking privileges and forfeiture of all parking permit fees.
