Got a New License Plate? Need to Update Your Records!

All permit holders are responsible for keeping their vehicle information up-to-date.  Click on the LICENSE PLATE UPDATE button (upper right of the DPT home page) to update your license plate information for an existing vehicle.  <Click Here> to view the step-by-step process.  If you have a new vehicle and you need to remove an old one from your account, you will need to come to the Parking & Transportation office or email parking@olemiss.edu.  This will help you avoid receiving a citation in the future.

Plan to arrive earlier on campus, especially for the beginning of the semester, to help be on time due to some parking areas reaching capacity faster than others. The complete listing of Parking and Transportation rules and regulations can be found here. Please contact the DPT office at 662-915-7235 or parking@olemiss.edu if you have any questions.
